    Izip Ezgo

    I bought this bike (Izip Ezgo)from e.bay 2yrs ago for £250,it does the job well for what i want,but i would like it to be a bit lighter.Would changing to a lighter type of battery plus charger and controller be worth the cost compared to a new bike. Thanks. Brian

    clicking noise from motor

    My bike is a Izip Ezgo and i am getting a clicking noise from the hub,it only does it with rider weight(12 stone)if i lift the bike up or turn it upside down it does not do it,if i take the battery off and pedal it it, there it is again,other than the noise it works perfectly. Any ideas folks?

    1940's bike factory video

    I worked for 20+ years as a paint sprayer so i noticed the enamel dip, but i would like to know what the pre treatment was like back then.Todays cars dont rust like they used to back in the 60s,the top coats were better then but the pre treatments were rubbish.
