The rear suspension design is DW Link which handles small bumps and braking well, but isn’t as compliant for big hits… it’s a good choice for a cross country / trail style bike like this with shorter travel. Weight is distributed very well on this ebike, low and center, and IZIP has gone above and beyond with an alloy skid plate to protect from rock strikes. I love the stepped-in battery mount design and tipped-up motor integration. Standouts include Magura hydraulic disc brakes with an extra large 203 mm front rotor and an eleven speed 11-42 SRAM NX drivetrain. The 2018 Peak DS model has changed that in a way, because the parts are all top notch, it’s being sold in two frame sizes, and the styling is on point. Historically, I have viewed IZIP as a value brand… meaning that their products were less expensive but possibly a step behind in terms of technology and parts. 2017 was the first year that the Peak DS utilized the high torque Bosch Performance Line CX motor, before that it came with a less sophisticated TransX motor, and for 2018 they’ve upgraded the battery from a PowerPack 400 to 500 while reducing the price $200. The IZIP E3 Peak DS is a dual-suspension electric trail bike with 130 mm RockShox suspension, balanced 2.6″ plus sized tires from Schwalbe, sturdy thru-axles front and rear, and a premium drive system from Bosch.
