flat and has a wider seat tube at 31.6″ which is good to know if you want even more comfort and plan on adding something like the Thudbuster ST. Additionally, the bikes use different headsets, the Peak has low-rise bars vs. the 17″ and 19″ only sizes for the E3 Peak.
The biggest difference is that the Tekoa iE is a 29er with larger diameter wheels and is offered in one extra size (Extra Large 21″) vs. To me it’s a curious mix of robust features (the axles) and more urban-oriented extras but both electric bikes cost the same $2,799. preload, you get the rear rack and fender mount bosses and a kickstand mount. It also has suspension (though less robust) and comes stock with fenders, a rack and integrated LED lights installed.Ĭompared with the Tekoa iE from Raleigh, the E3 Peak offers sturdy 15 mm and 12 mm thru-axles, the fork has rebound adjust vs. It’s a Class 1 pedal assist only bike that is limited to 20 mph making it better suited for trail use and if you’re mostly commuting the slightly less expensive and faster IZIP E3 Dash is probably a better fit. This e-bike would work well as an urban commuter (with the occasional curb jumping) or a true trail/mountain platform because the tires are less knobby (but still wide and grippy) and the frame offers mounting points for fenders and a rear rack. The air suspension fork is light weight and offers both rebound adjustment and lockout, the latter of which is great for riding efficiently on paved surfaces. With a 27.5″ wheelset the bike feels nimble but also stable and comfortable going over bumps. The M07 motor by TranzX delivers 73 Newton meters of torque and is surprisingly quiet. The 2016 IZIP E3 Peak is one of the most powerful mid-drive electric bikes I’ve tested for trail and mountain style riding.
