Assuming you haven't owned an ebike before, a few generic things I've learned. I don't have your model, but was in your shoes over a year ago. The motor failed twice and ate up a significant portion of the warranty. The 2017 model, already out when 8 made this purchase, addressed these issues by eliminating torque sensing and restricting boost button use to above 5mph. The 2016 Dash had multiple issues that caused motors to fail, mainly inadequate torque sensing and a boost button that allowed riders to zoom to 20 mph from a stop, causing severe stress to the junk TranzX motor. It's got me confused.Īny help would be hugely, hugely appreciated.ĮDIT - 10/2018 - iZip belongs on the DO NOT BUY list. A lot of sort of mixed messages in the info out there, some say it's torque based, cadence, others claim a nondescript mix between cadence and torque. I couldn't find any real detail as to whether it's strictly a cadence based assist or how the motor kicking in is determined. I'm hoping I can find other owners of this model (the 2016 mid drive Dash, not the hub 2015) who can maybe give me some tips they wish they had known when they first got their Dash.Īlso if anyone can explain the difference of the Currie technology to me, that would be great. As a first time ebike owner having a local bike shop as an authorized dealer for maintenance and whatnot seemed like a good move and the bike seems solid and capable.
