![]() ![]() If the need for power and speed are on your list for an E-bike, the E3 Zuma will not disappoint. All this power comes with a good dose of efficiency too. With its large lithium battery, you can get great range if you use the power wisely. ![]() I have taken many long satisfying rides on this gem.īasically styled like a beach cruiser, it has many features that bring it back towards a comfort bike. A nice up-right seating position and some re-designed narrower handlebars are included in that direction. The plush saddle and oversized tires fit in with the look. A stand-out paint job helps to finish the style of this E-bike. The men’s version comes in silver with red rims. To complement the smooth, high-power of the bike, are the very strong disc brakes. They too have been up-dated for this year’s model and they do their job all too well. With a solid feel and massive stopping power, they work as good as they look. Other up-dates are the re-designed power control system and front-end. The move away from the front suspension fork and to a Ahead system fork mounting have helped tame this powerful beast. The control system has had a lot of thought put into it. The pedelec mode (PAS) is easy to use and offers just the right amount of assist for comfortable riding. Plus, the twist throttle can be used in conjunction with the pedelec mode or all by itself. I am a big fan of dual-control E-bikes and this E-bike works in a safe and controllable way. Each brake lever has a motor safety cut-out switch, something that I like to see too. ![]() The Shimano Acera seven-speed drivetrain is operated with a left-hand mounted twist-shifter. On a bike like this, you don’t feel the need to shift that much for every-day riding. Still, if you are riding fairly hard, you can go through the gears quite easily. It also offers a super-low first gear that can help you make it up some really steep hills. With the amount of push you get from that 500 watt motor, you rarely need to use low gear, but it’s there if you need it. The bike I have been riding is the low-frame version. ![]()
