The motor provides a decent amount of torque and works well in PAS (pedal assist mode) and TAG (twist and go mode). The eZip Trails features a 450 Watt motor which is pretty powerful for an entry level bike (most are just 250 or 300) but it’s necessary for the heavier Lead acid battery and steel frame, especially if you add a second Lead Acid battery. It does mean there are more chains to deal with though, more rust, more noise and friction, and it also makes changing a flat harder. This sort of balances out the bike and allows the rider to stop pedaling without disrupting the motor which turns its very own chain. Picture this, on the left side of the rear wheel is the motor which is attached via chain and on the right side of the wheel are the normal chainrings attached to the pedal and cranks system. The external side-mounted motor performs great and isn’t that loud but will still be heard over something like a hub motor or mid-drive system. I found myself riding it more often and feeling less protective due to the low price and basic non-glamorous feature set. Sure, it’s sold at Walmart and seems so much more basic than other bikes but that’s actually one of its strengths. I’ve ridden all of the major brands out there and tried varying levels of ebikes but the Trailz is one of the most common and enduring models I’ve come across.
The Currie eZip Trailz is one of the most affordable entry level ebikes around.
