The Bosch Active Line Plus mid-motor packs best-in-class power to keep you rolling wherever your adventure takes you and the oversized 4-inch tires bowl over soft surfaces and technical terrain like a steamroller. The Sumo electric fat bike is always up for full sized fun whether plowing through the snow or cruising your favorite sandy beach. Overall, the 2021 IZIP Sumo e-bike is a great introductory option to the year-round trail and off-road biking, and I can’t wait for my next ride! What iZip has to say about the Sumo The Tektro M275 Hydraulic Brakes offer incredible stopping power, which is beneficial for quick stops but not desirable (in my opinion) while biking at high speeds or down steep hills. One of my favorite offerings is the smooth power delivery from the Bosch Active Line Plus motor, especially during uphill climbs. Throughout my entire ride, even while pushing the Sumo to its limits, I felt awesome and super comfortable.Ī majority of the components enhance this bike. My favorite aspect is the focus on seat positioning, comfort, and geometry. Thin snow, sand, and gravel are no match to the grip on the included 4.0” tires, and with upgraded studded tires, biking through thick layers of snow is effortless. The 2021 IZIP Sumo is an affordable electric fat tire mountain bike that offers an opportunity to ride in varying conditions.

It comes in three sizes and I was using the medium ~17″ frame which felt slightly small for my 5’9″ build but kept my body upright for improved city riding. I appreciate the included fenders, rear rack and integrated LED lights from Spanninga! This e-bike is ready to go right out of the box and all of the parts match. The speed range of the motor itself is somewhat limited but it’s very powerful which is great for climbing and it’s fairly quiet. To truly reach ~28 mph on this electric bicycle you do have to pedal along and use one of the higher gears. This plastic ring has three buttons… one to enable boost, one to slowly and smoothly reach ~6 mph and another unlabeled button offering full power up to ~20 mph if you’re using one of the higher gears. While this is a speed-pedelec Class 3 with only pedal assist by default, you can spend $50 extra for a boost button to be mounted near one of the ergonomic grips. The 10 speed Shimano Deore drivetrain is solid mid-level and should hold up well if cared for. It’s a more basic motor that does not detect shifting and therefor may strain the chain, sprockets and derailleur more if you try to shift while pedaling hard and using a high level of assist. I found the motor to respond mostly to cadence, to run quietly and to be slightly delayed… both starting and stopping. You get thru-axles for improved stiffness (12 mm rear and 15 mm front) and hydraulic Shimano disc brakes with a larger 180 mm rotor up front for quick stops. This improves balance and frame stiffness while making quick-release on both wheels possible (and easier). The 2016 IZIP E3 Dash features a high torque mid-drive motor while the previous two iterations used gearless direct drive hub motors.
