What you should know about Ezee bikes

Ezee bikes are high performance bikes with lightweight Nickel Metal Hydride Battery packs and chargers. These eZee bike battery packs provide a range per charge that cannot be achieved with conventional SLA (sealed lead acid) batteries used by most other manufacturers. What’s more, they contribute to a weight saving of over 10kg which is critical to electric bike performance and handling.

All Ezee bike models feature an aluminum frame, which gives you (in combination with NiMH batteries) one of the lightest electric bikes around.

The Ezee bike has been designed specifically for Western Markets and offer as standard many European features including fenders, rack, lights and bell.

What you should know about electric bikes

The concept of an electric bike opens up fantastic opportunities :

For a start, it is a zero emission personal transporter that can get you from A to B, with virtually no noise, and no pollution. You can enjoy a peaceful ride at your own pace, in your own time and soak up the views as you cruise to your destination.

The primary advantage of an electric bike over a pedal only bike is that it is capable of taking the “pain” factor out of an ordinary bike. Imagine climbing hills that would previously leave you groaning and panting, with virtually no effort at all. And on flat roads, the bike will even coast on its own without any pedal assistance. You can decide whether to pedal for even greater speed and exercise. When you just want to coast, let the motor propel you forward.

But here is the catch . To achieve these aims, an electric bike must be well designed and well executed. An overall design concept, quality parts and quality build are critical to it’s performance.

All too often, cheap electric bikes do not deliver .

For a start, they may be so heavy that in reality there is little pedal assistance. And most electric bikes are simply a standard bike with add on electric parts.

The Ezee bike is different . It was designed for the American and European markets only. This means it has to meet the stringent and exacting requirements that these markets demand. They have been designed from the outset by an electric bike designer whose goal is to design and build the worlds best electric bike.

In fact, in excess of NZD1million has been spent on R&D alone, to develop the bikes proprietary electric technology.

An Ezee bike is like no other . As you’d expect, the parts are all of the highest quality - for greater reliability and reduced weight. Attention to detail can be found right down to the smallest components. For instance, all the nuts and bolts used during assembly of the bike are stainless steel. The proprietary battery control system uses advanced pulse width modulation to maximise battery power and converts almost all of the electrical energy into the desired motion.

Lesser electric bikes expend power as heat rather than forward motion.

The Ezee bike is a beautifully balanced machine . It’s light weight and exceptional ride characteristics make it handle beautifully, and provide a smooth ride. And they’re light enough to lift, which is really important when it comes to parking it away.

In real terms, the Ezee bike delivers fantastic value ! Talk to us if you need more information on Ezee bikes. Once you understand the ownership benefits of an Ezee bike, we’re sure you’ll recognise that an Ezee bike is… the Ezee choice !

Who can use an Ezee Bike ?

Well, anyone who can ride a bike can ride an electric bike.

If you value the ride more than the effort of the ride, then you’ll love an Ezeebike.

For recreation, Ezee bikes are real cruisers. Take in the scenery, enjoy the fresh air. With an Ezee Bike you can now enjoy the ride for what really matters…

For commuting, an Ezeebike will get you from A to B without working up a sweat.

Yet you can use the bike to get fit too ! Peddle as much or as little as you want.

To regain your mobility, an Ezeebike is a great solution.

Listed below are some real world reasons to use an Ezee Bike :

Hill Climbing
That may sound obvious, but it's the primary advantage. A good electric bike effectively flattens hills, increasing your average speed and eliminating the 'groan' factor when a gradient comes into view. Provided you supply some pedal assistance, you can expect to climb hills of 1 in 10 (10%) on an electric bike with ease, and clear a maximum gradient of 1 in 7 (14%), or much more. In hilly country, the effect is nothing short of miraculous.

Safety 
It sounds unlikely, doesn't it? But it’s true - an electric bike helps to keep you out of danger. Faster acceleration on an Ezee bike means you are able to get out of harms way quicker - at road junctions, and when moving across to the centre line, preparing to turn.

That acceleration also helps when taking off from a stand still, especially up hills as it increases stability. And with electric assistance on hand, there is no need to rush the hills.

Low Running Costs
Mechanical wear and tear on an Ezee bike is about the same as a regular bike, and electricity is so cheap as to be largely irrelevant. Compared to a moped, or a car, an Ezee bike can save a great deal of money in operating costs.

Easy Recharge
With the supplied charger, the battery can be recharged in 3.5 hours from a fully discharged state – just by plugging it into any standard power point. No more trips to the gas station. And if you run out of power, you can still peddle just like a conventional bike.

Portability
Ezee bikes are light enough to carry. That means you can put it in the house, or wheel it into the office. It’s virtually as portable as a conventional bike.

Personal Fitness
It’s true – an electric bike is easier to ride than an ordinary bike…but did you know that recent research has found that electric bicycle owners ride their bike more often than conventional bike owners.

Because riding an electric bike is a great deal more enjoyable in hilly country, into strong winds, or when carrying heavy loads, users tend to use them more often. The motor provides more than half the effort, but more regular use means more exercise for the rider.

No sweat ! 
With an Ezee bike, you can cruise to work with just a gentle “canter”. No sweat!

Clean & Green
An Ezee bike is a zero emission transporter. And a very economical power user.

Think of it this way. A 100 watt electric light bulb burning for an evening is equivalent to riding an electrically-assisted bike for 30-60 km...

No licence required
Our Ezee bikes are categorized as bicycles. That means you don’t need a licence. You don’t need to register it or pay any other sort of fees. Like all cyclists, you just need to wear an approved bicycle helmet and follow the same road rules for bicycles.

Simple huh ?

EZEE bikes are sold around the world by some of the most reputable stores in the business.
