Even the disc brake caliper is mounted down rather that up higher, it keeps the cables clean and out of the way of the rack. A rear mounted adjustable length kickstand is here too, nice and out of the way so you don’t get that pedal lock when reversing.
I love the bottle cage bosses and the rack bosses in the back in case you want to customize it with your own setup. Running down the list, you see a lot of other features offered as well. Overall though, the bike is pretty comfortable when you get it all set up and everything is black too (on this version) keeping everything blended and looking good. Do be careful removing the plastic caps, I broke it in the video review when I pulled it off, so something to be mindful of when removing your own. Under these plastic caps there is a little knob like a dial that you can adjust to reduce or increase the preload, so you could preload it for your body weight. The fork is a SR Suntour NEX which is an entry level fork with fairly narrow stanchions, but it is a bit adjustable via removing a set of plastic caps on each edge of the fork. And of course, there is the front suspension fork. The seat post is rigid, but if you wanted, you could swap it out with a 31.6mm equivalent to add some extra comfort. Also, it looks like they went with an adjustable angle quill stem which can help you get the right geometry going. For comfort you got some semi slick Kenda 700 x 45c tires which are a little wider to help that stability. It is a bit more of an entry level lighting system, so be careful of the exposed wires coming unplugged, try not to snag them. The headlight has a cut pattern on the top which is designed to aim downward granting visibility on the road. The rear light has 1 LED and the front light is mounted on the fork arch, so do be mindful that it may bounce up and down a little bit being mounted there. I am a big fan of integrated lights and it’s great to see more ebikes include them. Battery integrated lights from Fuxon in the front and rear are here as well. Its rated to support a nice 55lbs (22kg) and has standard gauge tubing. Also included is a rear rack that may not be as fancy or streamlined as some of the expensive bikes but does have adjustability to go up and down as well as bungie loops. I like how they are flexible, and they won’t rust if you get them scratched or knocked. It might be a little tricky to get them straight but once you do, they won’t rattle much, due to the extra support struts. Included with the bike are these plastic fenders which are somewhat adjustable. At this price point, there will be some entry level components, but what I do love is all the included items they added, there is just a lot of value here and I want to make sure to cover it all.
The high-step comes in medium (18”) and large (20”) sizes, while the step-through comes in small (16”) and medium (18”). At a starting price point of $1,699, the bike comes in 2 frame styles, a high-step in black only, and a step-through (looks like the high-step with a more slanted approach) in black or red. The E3 Brio is a commuter bike packed with features and value while maintain its affordability. IZIP has launched a bunch of all new bikes for 2019 and the E3 Brio is another one I got a chance to review.
