This is a 24V model from Currie. It's intriguing because it's more bicycle-like than the Ezee Fort or the Crystalyte conversion since it is pedal assist (meaning the motor does not engage unless one is pedaling). The battery is concealed in the down bar. It's from Superkids in Van Nuys, California, and costs $1399, which is very steep in terms of price. The shipping is free, though. I like the way it looks. A picture of an Izip in an article about Ed Begley, Jr. in the NY Times Magazine is what first got me thinking about ebikes. There's no way to try the Izip out, however, and because it's relatively new, there are no reviews that deal with its longevity or ratings for hills. I was going to have Howard check it out when he was visiting his mom, but then his visit turned into something very different that he originally intended.
