The only real drawback here is that the larger gearless design is a bit heavier.įurther enhancing the feel of the new motor is an updated pedelec system that uses 12 magnetic cadence markers instead of just six. So ultimately this means it will be less obtrusive when riding (people won’t hear it) and it will last through many more years of use since there aren’t gears rubbing around inside. Compared with the smaller 250 watt geared motor on the original Path this thing is quieter, smoother and more durable. The motor on the Path+ is a direct drive (gearless) design offering 500 watts of power in a rear mounted hub. And, since it’s available in medium and large high-step as well as medium low-step you can dial in the fit which makes it more enjoyable to pedal and actually ride for extended periods. In my opinion this updated version is one of the most enjoyable ebikes in the entire IZIP line and perhaps the most beautiful.
The original E3 Path looked similar and offered the same mechanical benefits as the Path+ (disc brakes, fenders, chain guard) but it’s just not the same bike. With the Plus, you get a smoother and quieter direct drive motor, improved cadence sensing technology that significantly enhances ride quality and an updated control console with cruise and four levels of assist. The IZIP E3 Path+ is the second iteration in the series.
