Review content:
We just moved back to CA from MA and needed a form of transportation to get me within 20 miles of home. Back and forth thinking about Vespas etc...just couldn't settle with the fact that there are so many accidents involving them, then there's the added cost of registration, license and insurance, it just didn't make sense.
My husband was at Floyds getting a haircut and came to pick me up a couple of doors down. In his hand a brochure for Izip..I thought wot? Nah, not me...that was until we walked in to check them out.
The store is modern, clean and stock filled...so many choices, I thought my head would spin, until Ethan asked me what I would mainly use the bike for...that narrowed it down to 2 bikes! Perfect...that makes it easy...next thing you know, I ask for a test ride, my husband, myself and Ethan took a spin. Me on a Izip E3 Metro and my husband an Izip Zuma.
We took a hill nearby, didn't know until I reached the top, I cruised there in top gear! Laughing all the way. The feeling is like nothing else, waaaay too much fun and just bizarre after cycling for years, this takes it to a whole new level.
We got back and I asked how much for both, yep, cycled out with both bikes, because they are bitching! It is THE perfect solution for me to travel around the beach and surrounding suburbs.
Better still for a car, paint and motor freak, my Metro was way beyond gorgeous...the paintwork, the styling, the comfort and it was just released the day I bought it...even the serial number is number 1.
OK, enough raving, Ethan & Rudy are so knowledgeable, no hard sell (there really is no need once you get on board one, it's a no brainer) beyond old fashioned customer service, it was such a friendly, pleasant experience. No question was too silly or could not be answered and we get lifetime service.
We took our bikes from Venice to Manhattan Beach yesterday, a breeze all the way, used about 70/30 pedal/electric and had a blast. We passed by people with a puzzled look on their face and probably upset more than a few die hard triathletes on the bike path when we took on the hills, giving into some throttle action!
By far the best bike rental at the beaches, beyond clean and in good shape, they don't provide clunkers that break down or just look downright dirty, they are quality bikes and very fair and reasonable pricing...recommended for singles, couples, friends and family.
Can't wait to take this home to Australia next summer...might even have to bring a few more along for family...will be awesome riding on the coast.
Thanks Ethan & Rudy for all your help, great ideas, forward thinking and just for being great blokes! We're still smiling!
