Not a lot has changed in terms of operation since the 2015 model of the E3 Peak, I think they use the same high power motor and display panel which has automatic backlighting (that you can’t turn off). flat and has a wider seat tube at 31.6″ which is good to know if you want even more comfort and plan on adding something like the Thudbuster ST. Additionally, the bikes use different headsets, the Peak has low-rise bars vs.

the 17″ and 19″ only sizes for the E3 Peak. The biggest difference is that the Tekoa iE is a 29er with larger diameter wheels and is offered in one extra size (Extra Large 21″) vs. To me it’s a curious mix of robust features (the axles) and more urban-oriented extras but both electric bikes cost the same $2,799. preload, you get the rear rack and fender mount bosses and a kickstand mount. It also has suspension (though less robust) and comes stock with fenders, a rack and integrated LED lights installed.Ĭompared with the Tekoa iE from Raleigh, the E3 Peak offers sturdy 15 mm and 12 mm thru-axles, the fork has rebound adjust vs. It’s a Class 1 pedal assist only bike that is limited to 20 mph making it better suited for trail use and if you’re mostly commuting the slightly less expensive and faster IZIP E3 Dash is probably a better fit.

This e-bike would work well as an urban commuter (with the occasional curb jumping) or a true trail/mountain platform because the tires are less knobby (but still wide and grippy) and the frame offers mounting points for fenders and a rear rack.

The air suspension fork is light weight and offers both rebound adjustment and lockout, the latter of which is great for riding efficiently on paved surfaces. With a 27.5″ wheelset the bike feels nimble but also stable and comfortable going over bumps. The M07 motor by TranzX delivers 73 Newton meters of torque and is surprisingly quiet. One other thing that you have to look at is the fact that you sometimes have support initially.and then get so ticked off/swear you'll never go back during one of the ebbs and flows at any company.yet you're still happy that you bought the machine (don't ask me how I know this).The 2016 IZIP E3 Peak is one of the most powerful mid-drive electric bikes I’ve tested for trail and mountain style riding. YMMV.but I'd hate to see people miss out on the fun while appreciating your take on 'forever good service' at the same time. For at least one of them it was a 'yeah, I can do that.(why couldn't I).that's no big deal'.(we're in the bike business). What sealed the deal is that at least a few of the employees (I believe) actually wanted to ride the Dash/Peak 'just to test their work' afterwards. What I was blessed with was a local bike shop with a solid reputation who actually didn't offer their first ebike line until this year (one unit on display). I hope that this doesn't sound argumentative and I realize that this is simply your opinion.yet I did just that with (owner) Len Crazy Lenny's in Madison WI and would do the same with (owner) Chris Long Island Electric Bikes, a long time (solid) contributor here.
