The standard sized 42 tooth chainring seemed a bit delayed when I stopped pedaling, it’s like the motor wanted to continue or needed to wind down a bit and there was definitely some clunking as I shifted gears, possibly in part because of this steady output style. Instead of just measuring pedal cadence as most of the other TranzX motors do, it listens for rear wheel speed, pedal cadence, and pedal torque… though in my experience it is still primarily cadence driven and less dynamic than Bosch.
It offers 500 watts of nominal output and up to 70 Newton meters of torque putting it on par with Bosch and Yamaha systems. This company usually produces mid-level value motors but the M25GTS is one of their premium products with a multi-sensor controller.
So that’s just one step :)ĭriving this electric bike is a powerful, relatively quiet, impressively compact mid-motor from a Taiwanese company called TranzX. On the one hand, having to power the bike on by pressing the battery power button and then plugging in your phone and booting up the app and then pressing the rear light power button seems like a lot of steps, but having the ability to move the rear light to different areas of the bike (like clipping it onto a trunk bag or backpack) is very cool and you really don’t need to mount your phone if you don’t want to.

A stand-alone rear LED light is mounted to the seat post and offers basic performance now but supposedly will offer turn signal and braking bright mode based on an accelerometer with future software updates. In short, I charged the bike… the bike charged the mount, my phone updated the mount and then itself… and then I finally got to take a ride! Included with the Cobi system is an aimable two-mode headlight with daytime running lights along the side and a bright center light for illuminating the path. You might think, oh, it’s just the software on my phone! But there is also some software and firmware built into the battery-powered interface where your phone mounts, and that had to be updated through my phone’s connection… after it had charged off of the main bike battery. And this is both a pro and a con, because it took me over one hour to configure the Cobi system on the brand new 2017 IZIP E3 ProTour demo model I was given access to.

it can do many things… and possibly even more in the future as they update the software. If you allow the Cobi system to access your contacts, music, etc. You get all of the traditional ride stats such as speed, assist level, and battery capacity, along with GPS maps, fitness tracker, music integration, and phone call support. If you don’t have a smartphone or don’t want to use one, you can still operate this bike through the remote button pad (mounted with reach of the left grip) but the benefits of using their app are many.

It offers high-speed 28 mph pedal assisted rides, feature-complete accessories like fenders, a rear rack, and integrated lights, and now it runs off of your Android or iOS smartphone device because it comes stock with the Cobi system. The ProTour is one of IZIP’s most exciting electric bikes, at least to me.
