Summary

Today, we’re diving into the world of Electrobike, a Mexico City-based electric bike company with around 25 stores in Mexico and a handful in the U.S., including this flagship store. Today’s star is their most affordable model: the Dash. This isn’t the Izip E3 Dash, just the Dash, priced at an incredible $800.

The Dash is a compact and user-friendly electric bike, perfect for riders looking for a value-packed, easy-to-handle option. It features a 15-inch step-through frame and 24-inch wheels, which lower the overall bike height, making it accessible and easy to manage. The frame is aluminum alloy, complemented by a steel fork for better vibration damping. The 1.75-inch hybrid-style tires offer a comfortable ride, and the steel fenders, though more prone to dings than plastic, provide solid protection and add a sleek look.

One key feature of the Dash is its integrated headlight powered directly from the bike’s battery, ensuring you stay visible and safe during night rides. The battery, neatly tucked in the down tube, is not removable, so you’ll need to bring the whole bike inside to charge it or use an extension cord. The 36V 9Ah battery powers a 350W rear hub motor, providing ample power for this lightweight bike, which tips the scales at just 48 pounds—slightly below the average for electric bikes.

The Dash sports a simple yet functional display. The key-operated system keeps things secure, and the display shows battery levels with five bars and allows you to switch between three pedal assist levels. While basic, this setup ensures you get the essential information at a glance. One neat feature is the motor inhibitor on the brake levers, which cuts off the motor instantly for added safety. The twist throttle is also a satisfying touch, providing a burst of power when needed.

Riding the Dash is a breeze, especially with the Cadence Sensor’s five-sensor system. It’s responsive, albeit with a slight delay, but the motor inhibitor on the brake levers compensates for this. The single-speed setup keeps maintenance low and the ride experience straightforward, although you might find yourself pedaling faster at the top speed of 20 mph.

A unique feature of the Dash is its drum brake with a locking mechanism, adding an extra layer of security. While not as powerful as V-brakes, it ensures the bike can’t be ridden away if someone tries to steal it. The rear steel rack adds utility, allowing you to carry cargo or panniers, and the plush saddle and riser bars enhance comfort, making it ideal for petite riders.

The Dash doesn’t come with a suspension fork, but the option to add a suspension seat post can boost comfort. Despite its simplicity, the bike performs well, even on moderate hills, thanks to its efficient motor and compact design. The cruise control feature, which engages when the throttle is held open, is a nice touch, though it can be deactivated by tapping the brake levers.

In terms of charging, the Dash uses a lightweight charger similar to a laptop charger. The wires are mostly routed below the frame, keeping them out of the way. The bike is available in black and gloss white, offering some visual variety. While there’s no quick-release on the front wheel, requiring tools for maintenance, this bike packs a lot of value into a small, affordable package.

So, there you have it—the Electrobike Dash, a compact, affordable, and practical electric bike that offers great utility and performance for its price. For more details and other Electrobike models, check out electricbikereview.com. Ride safe!
