Reviewer: P. Van Dien

Retailer: NYCE Wheels

Purchase Price: $800

Time Owned: 10 weeks

Terrain: Flat

Strengths:
-great speed (US version - 20-21 mph with Lithium, was 18 with NiMH)
-comfortable frame fit and seat
-internal hub, chain guard, fenders, lights and rear rack make for a great commuter
-step-thru frame is easy to mount when wearing a suit


Weaknesses:
-weight
-battery (see below)
-weak light considering it is powered off the main battery, I have a small light with 2 AA batteries that is more effective
-questionable kick stand

Summary:
This is my first electric bike. I have used it for the last 2 months to make a short commute to work in South Florida (read hot).
As I have to wear a suit and tie everyday, I put my suit shirt and jacket in a rear panier and wear my suit pants and dress shoes for the ride. At 20 mph, the Sprint allows me to get to work relatively cool and not covered in sweat.
Unfortunately, the original NiMH battery stopped taking a charge after only 3 weeks. It was another 3 weeks before a replacement arrived. This is definitely not a bike to ride without a motor, heavy and cumbersome.
Overall, the Ezee Springt is a great commuter. Hopefully this battery will go the distance in which case I will be very satisfied with the Ezee Sprint and electric bikes in general.

Overall Rating: 8.5
