This bike isn’t meant for off road riding but it does climb on pavement fairly well and the gears really help (especially the extra large low gear in the rear). Sitting right next to the hub motor is a seven speed Shimano cassette that provides decent range for pedaling at a comfortable cadence. It’s smooth, quiet and fairly powerful, operating in both throttle and pedal assist mode. And even though the gears are apt to wear out a bit more quickly than a gearless design it comes with a two year motor warranty which is great. Being geared, it’s smaller and lighter weight than a gearless equivalent. Powering the new Zuma is a 500 watt geared rear hub motor. It offer great value, and with eight colors and three frame sizes to choose from it would make an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys the comfortable cruiser ride. Before the E3 Dash came out this was my favorite IZIP bike. The chain guard keeps you clean when peddling and optional matching fenders and rear rack make commuting with gear and dealing with wet streets a cinch. This is a comfortable bike that feels great cruising around town thanks to its large ballon tires, soft oversized seat and extended handlebars. It still offers the strength of a 500 watt geared rear hub motor and both pedal assist and throttle mode but is more balanced and agile than ever.
