Hey Jennih,

The I-Zip is supposed to be a step-up from the E-Zip model. If you check the specs compared to the E-Zip Mountain/Trailz version, you'll see that what you purchased has more features to it. For one thing, it has a front disc brake, the handle bar has an angle adjustment, and the frame is aluminum rather than steel. What I don't understand is that with an aluminum frame, why is the bike just about as heavy as the E-Zip version. Still, you have a great bike and congratulations on your purchase.

Richie
