It’s absolutely excellent for the hills – I also found the throttle handy for some of the busy roundabouts on my route. It’s helpful to be able to move quickly when you’re in front of all those cars, the motor gets you on your way. The eZee Torq is a powerful hi-spec electric bike that is perfect for touring, commuting or exploring your local countryside. This latest edition comes complete with front suspension, front disc brake, rear roller brake and a slimmer yet stronger motor that produces better performance and hill climbing. Its range is between 20 and 30 miles depending on load and terrain. With suspension forks, puncture resistant tires and disc/hydraulic brakes, this is an all-surface bike that’s great for everything from commuting to touring. ‘I’m amazed!

Value for price is excellent relative to the other bikes we have seen. The quality is excellent, they are using the latest technology (e.g. Although “Lithium Ion” batteries are considered to the best power source by most, eZee (which had used Lithium Ion) has now gone to the new “Lithium Polymer” on most if not all of their bikes which delivers better performance, equal battery life, yet weighs approx. 35% less. My wife and I have just purchased two of them; the “eZee Cadence” for myself and the “eZee Slope Step Thru” model for her. Both are of similar weight and performance. We have put many miles on them and couldn’t be any more pleased with our investment. The Ezee’s offer the choice of three modes of operation 1. pedal only, 2. throttle controlled electric motor power assist while pedaling, 3. throttle controlled electric motor power only. The top speed is 20 MPH with a range of 20 to 30 miles dependent on rider weight and the terrain. Many “hardcore” bicyclist like to knock the electric bikes and I understand their philosophy, but for the remaining 95% of us who are out to get exersize while enjoying the benefits of nature and the great outdoors, (while not concerning ourselves with elapsed times) these bikes are ideal. How many of you have ruled out a particular path or road because of an extra steep or long hill. With these bikes you can choose to pedal the hill using just enough power assist to allow you to make it to the top.
