Just got an EZip, for $258, including shipping! Of course, I immediately began my upgrades.
The StepThrough ...
My newest bike began life as a "2009 Ladies, EZip Trailz".
Of course, I always improve on the basic model. Improvements include:
20T to 16T motor side freewheel upgrade.
(Sight alignment problem, bent motor bracket slightly, to re-align.)
11-32T 7spd freewheel upgrade.
(Tried 11-34T freewheel first, but chain seemed too long for 11T, went 32T so I could have the option of shortening chain, by a link or 2, later.)
Took off the OEM slip & slide tires and replaced with 2.125 road-worthy whitewalls. Also installed a 5x "slime" filled tube in the rear tire.
Adjusted hub bearing tightness, aligned wheels, adjusted brakes, etc.
The result is a beautiful, comfortable, cruiser.
Sadly, too nice for any of the "Ladies" I know!
So, ... I have added an elegant StepThrough to my stable of eBikes!
Total upgrade time ... about 4 hours. Re-replacing the 7spd and re-aligning the motor gears caused the project to take much longer than necessary.
Thanks mikefish! (Sarcastic tone) If you hadn't told everyone about this deal, I might have got it even cheaper! (ha ha ha!)
Will supply pictures, as soon as, snow is gone, and sun comes out.
