Powering the bike is an impressive 48 volt 8.7 amp hour battery that’s good for ~35 miles of cruising in ideal paved conditions using pedal assist mode. If you notice a tire becoming soft when riding, just spin the wheel and add some air and the tire should hold up long enough for you to replace the tube. Basically, an aqueous solution with rubber patching-bits has been loaded into the tube and if you get a leak, the Slime goo temporarily fills them in and seals. the bike is also setup to help you avoid the immediate ramifications of flat tires because the tubes come pre-Slimed. One of the coolest part about this motor is how it’s mounted to the frame, there’s a quick-disconnect for the power cable so changing flats is much easier. During my ride tests, the bike felt very satisfying whether using the twist throttle or pedal assist modes and climbed well – especially in pedal assist mode when I was helping out a bit. Being geared, it offers more torque for climbing and zippy takeoffs but doesn’t have to be as large or heavy as a gearless design to achieve this performance. It’s a 500 watt geared hub design that’s integrated into the rear wheel. The motor driving the E3 Zuma offers an excellent balance of size, weight and power. The 2015 model being reviewed here isn’t much different from the 2014 version but features three nice upgrades including a more powerful and efficient 48 volt battery, modified downtube that’s easier to perform service on (especially when adding lights) and improved LED control panel with a lights on/off button. With a high-step and low-step frame option available in two sizes this bike can be setup to fit most body types and the swept back handlebars pair nicely with the padded grips, oversized saddle and balloon tires for a comfortable ride. On the Zuma, the seat tube is actually built into the battery pack which slides into an even larger tube that completely surrounds it for added protection and a much nicer aesthetic. The balance is better than many other bikes that use a rear rack style battery or even the Silver Fish pack that mounts just behind the seat tube. They look beautiful in wide variety of colors with matching chain guards and optional matching fenders. The IZIP E3 Zuma has long been at the top of my favorites list for cruiser style electric bikes. The latest model is also priced slightly less at $2,499 vs.
