Izip from moore large

[BBB]

A new range of bikes from Moore large has been introduced any owners out there, they feature the currie motors, and have LA and nimh batteries.

The only Moore Large links I can find on these show the usual £349 Izip that's sold all over the place. 50cycles had them for a while, they're also sold by Currys and Tesco, plus numerous bike shops.

I haven't seen the NiMh variant though. Same old Currie design but with the Unite motor now, and with very heavy steel frame. Not a bad performer, but noisy and crude by todays' standards.

To be honest this is a page from my own web site , but i am not touting for Business as i do not mail order , i just wanted feedback from other users, the trail enlightened is very light bike with great brakes for an electric bike but is only pedal assist , the other like the mountain trail are a little noisy but seem well built and priced.

I wondered whether you meant that one when you first posted BBB, hence my remarking on what I'd found on Moore Large links.

We've seen and discussed it before, but know little about it except that it's a rather high price for what it appears to be. Years ago the Currie brand split into two branches, and I suspect this is nothing to do with the original US brand, and it seems to be China sourced.

Looks to have some connection with the Sparta Ion design in having the virtually identical frame tube battery, complete with not being able to have two batteries for instant turn round or longer trips. That's a big disadvantage for many, large numbers of us being two battery users.

As you know, after 12 to 24 months on NiMh, battery range can reduce quite a lot and make many commutes impossible without a second battery, or the high expense of buying a new battery and scrapping the a pefectly good, if shorter range one. I don't suppose that will be a problem on 9 mile by 4 mile Guernsey though!

P.S. The traditional Curries no longer use Currie motors, despite their advertising. For some while they've used the Unite motor which they buy in. Here it is on a supplier's site.

I don't know if Unite products are also used in the hub motor version.

Still have one of those left. Can't shift the bloody thing! Any takers? A ludicrous offer may (or may not) be accepted.
