Hi!

Love the videos and review, I must admit the idea of doing nearly 30 on a bicycle seems just a bit for hairy for me... :)

Anyway, to my question:

I just bought the following bike:

Izip Trailz ST Electric Mountain Bike for Gents

here in the UK (I got the "gents" one as I think the women's design looks lousy). Am I right in thinking that this is a the E-Zip with different branding for the UK market?

Oh, I did some looking into the 36v conversion for the trailz and found another site that had info on it (which I notice EcoForumz posts on) but most people who converted had to make some sort of cooling for the engine to stop it overheating and dieing.

How's your conversion going and is cooling an issue?

I don't think I'd want the near 30mph speed, but i live in Wales and it's very hilly (some v. steep gradients) and the extra "grunt" for those hills would be very useful.
