IZIP’s 2016 E3 Dash brought us the same TransX mid-drive motor that powered the E3 Peak. The 2017 model includes many big updates, including a new frame design with a sleek, semi-integrated battery, replacing the older parallelogram battery that powered the 2014-2016 models.

The 2017 Dash sticks with its tried-and-true hardtail formula, but switches out its SR Suntour front fork for a functionally-equivalent Paragon coil fork from RockShox. Pricing is unchanged with an MSRP of $2,599.

The biggest update on the 2017 E3 Dash is its battery, which is visually and aerodynamically much sleeker than the previous unit, but unfortunately, the new battery offers the same modest energy capacity and range as its predecessor, so those looking for 50+ mile range will want to look elsewhere.

With its ample power and 28MPH top speed, the IZIP E3 Dash is a great bike for those who want to jet around town for short distance commutes and for the occasional weekend ride.
