Doesn't it figure? From $226 to $300 in no time flat!
...And it's still the 2008 eZip model. So much for the "model year end clearance event"
I'm not saying that $300 (delivered) isn't a fair price ... it's just $75 more than yesterday's unbelieveably low price. Must be that whole supply and demand thing. DANG IT!
Percentage-wise, that's a pretty significant increase ... one that won't be lost on my girlfriend. I really hope she likes her xmas present or my acquasition of my precious eZip will, once again, be delayed.
The silver lining? Um, well, maybe there will be one under your tree and you can YouTube it for me to drool over.
Happy Holidays!

EZip eBike Low Pricing - How long will it Last?
OK, so I have been scouring the blogs & reviews and it appears that the $226 is a clearance price for the 2008 models - so they can clear them out of the way, and charge more for the 2009 eZip, just like a car dealership.
Unless the 2009 goes 40 mph with a 60 mile range (both pipedreams) I don't plan on being very impressed.

Now I am nervous. With my budget not opening up until after the Holidays I am definately worried that all the 2008s will be gone, and the 2009 price being back up to $300 or $400 and my dreams of a pedal assisted future delayed once more.
Then I will start rummaging through the couch for spare change and being more prepared for next year's model-year-end-blow-out sale.
If you are one of the lucky ones that score the low price, please consider making a good youTube video for the rest of us.
Fingers crossed.

Ezip - Latest Prices are now Within Reach!
Great News!
The 26 inch eZip Mountain yadda yadda yadda is now only $225.57!
EZIP MTN TRAILS at Ebikes.JBGrady.com
If this price holds out until Jan 1st, I have been greenlit to purchase my very own! I have read all the reviews and watched all of the videos and decided the reviews were a great help, but the videos either consisted of a joyride shot by the rider, or his buddy shot it while the guy drove up and down the street. While cool, they weren't what I would call helpful. I want to see this puppy climb a hill. I wanna see how far she will go. I wanna see if the rider broke a sweat.
So, now my plan is to take the ebike, once I get it, and head to Red Rock Canyon (I believe it's a National Park. It has a BEAUTIFUL scenic drive (or bikeride) full of long uphills and downhills, with some serious grades in either direction - and the beauty - the drive is on, get this 13 Mile Rd. - which is just about what I hope to expect from the eZip bike.
I feel that this is probably an unfair test due to the conditions, but should really allow me to put the bike through its paces. In my book, travelling even a couple of miles without breaking a sweat is a winner - so I; plan to be excited either way - It's a beautiful ride in a car, and I am excited to get up close and personal with it on a bike - while my current fitness level wouln never allow this on an ordinary bicycle.
Stay Tuned!
