The brakes on the Izip Vibe are pretty basic Tektro mechanical (cable pulled) disc brakes with 160mm rotors front and rear. The brakes on an ebike can often get overlooked, but given that ebikes are heavier than normal bikes and you tend to go faster on them, it is good to know you have brakes that stop you if necessary.
#IZIP BIKE BATTERY DEAD AFTER SHORT TRIP UPGRADE#
One potential upgrade would be to switch it to a 9-speed set-up and put an 11-36t rear cassette on the back, then you could climb a bit better. You could go a little bigger on the rear cassette, but only to a 34t gear, which does not give you much. With a lightweight rider, it will climb hills well enough, but anyone over 175lbs should consider a stronger motor. This ebike is simply not designed for big climbs. The shifter on this bike is mostly plastic, so be gentle when shifting and it works just fine. Shimano Tourney TX50 thumb shifter – 7 speed Rear Derailleur.This is the gearing and shifting part of the bike.
If you are looking for a pedal-assist mid-drive ebike then the drive train is very important.
Bosch Purion (speed, trip, range, odometer, assist level, battery level) The Drive Train. Bosch 400wh external battery and come with a Bosch compact charger (charges from 0-100% in about 6hrs) Display. Bosch Active Line mid-drive, 250 watts, 40nm max torque, up to 250% max assist Battery. This ebike comes with a Bosch motor and battery which is one of the best! Motor These are the parts you are really looking for when buying an electric bike. Here’s a breakdown of what comes stock on the bike – The Motor, Battery, and Display Scroll to the bottom to see the Izip Vibe in blue! Nuts & Bolts The Izip Vibe is also nice and small, if you remove the battery, it weighs a little over 40lbs and is easy to get onto an auto hitch rack. The Vibe comes stock with really nice ergonomic grips that are very comfy! We have set these up with different handlebars, with and without fenders, sometimes with a front basket, other times with bags for the rear, it’s really a pretty versatile bike. This is a good-looking ebike and comes in a couple of different colors. When you buy an electric bike or any bike for that matter, what you are really buying is the ride. You could have the prettiest bike in the world and unless it rides well, it’s just a piece of artwork. So a 70-year gap between two very different people who both love the same bike! Form & Function We had one lady who is now 86 that bought one of these a couple of years ago and she just loves it! Another, I sold to a girl who had just turned 16 and she rides it to school. They have not yet told us if there will be a new model for this year. 
Izip has been producing the Vibe now for their third year and from what I can tell the 2022 Vibe will be the same as the 2021 Vibe. It has a nice rear rack built into the frame and can take fenders and a front basket quite well. We have generally sold these to older women just looking to get some exercise or younger girls needing their transportation to school. The frame and wheels can handle it but the components would need to be upgraded. This ebike is meant for general around-town riding, it’s not good for off-road. This may be the least expensive, entry-level Bosch-powered ebike around! So if you want Bosch and don’t want to spend a ton, then this ebike is for you. It’s a very smooth riding motor, just not a very powerful motor, and will simply not perform well for big guys. Bosch has many different motors in their line-up and the Active Line is their more recreational motor.
The Bosch Active Line motor is not very strong and is meant for lighter riders only Who’s it For?. 
The rear derailleur and brakes are very budget but can be upgraded. Cool rear rack, that is part of the frame. This bike is not intended for someone my size though 🙂 Pros Of course, the bike can be ridden if the battery runs out, just without any motor assistance.įor me, at 220lbs the 40nm motor on this ebike does help me much on the hills. Depending on which assist mode I’m in, how many hills there are, and how windy it is. I weigh 220lbs and can get 13-28 miles on this ebike in real-world testing. * Price – $2,300 * Weight – medium 48lbs * Sizes – small, medium, large* Class 1 mid-drive Range Test Bonus – The Izip Vibe also comes in Blue!
