About this product
The eZee Forza classic electric bike paired with the 48V 14.5Ah (700Wh) battery results in a high performance machine built for speed.
The Forza silently eliminates the strains of headwinds and hills. It's Shimano 9 Speed Deore rear sprockets and derailleur coupled with our unique high performance motor smoothly powers your ride. It has quickly become a popular choice for off road electric bicycle tourers but also riders who prioritise the ride quality of a rear wheel drive electric bicycle and the comfort from the long travel from suspension forks. The long travel at the front raises the bottom bracket higher off the ground than other models, providing more clearance over rocks and branches and also creating a relaxed cruising riding position.
The one and only Cape York electric bicycle, the eZee Forza Rear Wheel Drive (with slight modifications) rode where no electric bicycle had ever been before - the Bloomfield Track, the old Telegraph Track and all the way to the Northernmost tip of the Australian continent in far north tropical Queensland back in 2012. More info here.
Since its return from the successful 4500km trip it has quickly become a popular choice for off road electric bicycle tourers but also riders who prioritise the ride quality of a rear wheel drive electric bicycle and the comfort from the long travel from suspension forks. The long travel at the front raises the bottom bracket higher off the ground than other models, providing more clearance over rocks and branches and also creating a relaxed cruising riding position.
