Is this
the best electric bike in the world?
We think so!
The new 2008 edition of the eZee Torq
is now available in South Africa.
It has all the great features
of the now famous older version of the Torq, but
with an slimmer, even stronger motor, front suspension
and a front shimano disc brake.
It really extends the range of electric

 94.7 Pick and Pay Cycle Challenge
2007 - South African DJ, Julio Garcia,
finished the 2007 94.7 Cycle Challenge
in 4 hrs 30 mins on an eZee Torq on
Sunday 18 November in Johannesburg.
The race went without any incidence
and the Torq performed extremely well
over the almost 100km's. Well done Julio
and the 2008 eZee Torq. It has been
said that this cycle race is even tougher
than the Argus taking place annually
in Cape Town. Read

Pick
of the year
'If you're a cycling purist
then my choice might alarm, but I rate
it as a real groundbreaker. The Ezee
Torq electric bike I reviewed in Cycling
Plus 188 is a throttle-assist machine
based around a hybrid style alloy frame.
It packs an astounding zip into a relatively
small front hub motor, powered by the
latest lithium battery technology. If
you're interested in getting a bit of
assistance it's worth taking a look
at the Torq. The version I tried weighed
25kg complete with lights, mudguards
and rack. Even better was the 50 km
single-charge range.' Richard Peace made the eZee
Torq his Pick of the Year in the January
2007 issue of Cycling Plus magazine.

 It is official, the Torq is the
best electic bike. Winner of the Tour
de Presteigne electric bike rally for
two years in a row. The eZee Torq took
on the best (and not-so-best) electric
bikes to clinch victory...again.

'I'm amazed.
I'm truly amazed! It’s absolutely excellent for
the hills – I also found the throttle handy for
some of the busy roundabouts on my route. It’s
helpful to be able to move quickly when you’re
in front of all those cars, the motor gets you
on your way. A total revelation.' Chris
Kelly's for BBC Bristol
'What a great electric bike. The
eZee Torq is super light and feels like a non-powered
road bike. The 250 watt motor has amazing
pull, it just keeps building up speed very smoothly
to what feels like 30 km/h. A very efficient setup
that runs for many miles per charge (unlike those
older, heavy eBikes). The eZee Torq is the bike
rider's electric bike'

'One of
the most exciting machines around, quite unique.
Gentle, refined, deliciously fast... very nearly
the lightest electric bike we've seen, yet it
comprehensively beat the flat road speed record,
the mountain course record and the hill-climbing
record. Could we really not recommend it?' A
