ZIZE Bikes Mid-Drive Motor System
With the redesign of our entire ZIZE Bikes line in 2022, we are able to make significant upgrades to our e-Bike models. Our previous bike models used an internally- geared rear hub that necessitated the use of a front hub motor.
Our new bicycle versions allow us to use a Mid-drive design that has several advantages:
- Feels more natural because the motor is amplifying your body’s power to the chain and “pushing” you, so you will feel like you are riding with extremely powerful legs rather than “pulling” you with a front hub motor.
- Easy removal of both the front and rear wheels. The drive system is contained entirely on the frame of the bike.
- Lower center of gravity for increased stability.
- More efficient because mid-drives use the bike’s derailleur to change gear ratios. Selecting a lower gear with the derailleur makes hill climbing a breeze.
- Simplified and more readable display.
- Advanced drive system options programming.
- Widespread availability to keep our build lead times down.
The two systems we use are similar in design. Both are Mid-drive motors that replace the front hub motors of previous ZIZE Bikes e-Bike models.
Our Standard Drive is rated at 750W continuous and over 1200W peak power and up to 120NM of torque.
We use 48 Volt batteries on all our e-Bike offerings to give you the best balance of power, range, and system reliability.
A New Leaf XG uses 14.5ah batteries as standard, with the battery mounted inside the frame triangle, above the motor.
Please note that all our systems are designed with our customers in mind! The power produced and range offered will suit nearly anyone. However, if you have specific needs, please contact our team and we can work out a custom system.
Due to varying state and local laws, and additional shipping restrictions, all ZIZE Bikes e-Bikes are shipped as Class 1 e-Bikes, defined as:
“Class 1: Bicycles equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance when the electric bicycle reaches 20mph.”
That said, all Zize e-Bikes are capable of advanced performance, with speeds up to 28mph. Through system programming, that can be changed by the end user or through a local bike shop familiar with local laws and ordinances.
Throttle Information
Because they are bicycles, and not motorcycles, all ZIZE Bikes e-Bike models are equipped with pedal-assisted power that provide a range of additional power based on the selection of an assist level through the handlebar-mounted dashboard.
All ZIZE Bikes e-Bike models are supplied with a thumb throttle that, due to shipping regulations, is not installed. We recommend working with a local bike shop if you find the need to install the throttle. They are easy to install. After installation of the throttle, the ZIZE Bikes e-Bike is then reclassified as a Class 2 e-Bike that may affect use in your local area.
Please note that riders who either install the throttle themselves, or have a local shop do the installation, may void the e-Bike power system warranty as the motor controller can be prone to premature failure when using a throttle inappropriately.

Love it! I’m 6-3” and weigh 375 lbs. I love cycling, but snapped my hybrid bike frame last summer. I’ve been struggling to find a suitable bike since. I live in the UK and couldn’t find a suitable bike at any price locally, but this firm was recommended to me by an expert at a big national bike shop. This bike arrived last week and I love it. I had to fix on handlebars, pedals, seat and front wheel and mud guard myself. The mud guard was the fiddliest bit. The seat was huge, and padded like sofa. I’ve taken it off and replaced it with a smaller one from my old bike. My wife wants the big seat for her bike though, so nothing wasted! The bike looks like a really well made, strong, expensive commuter bike, but with massive tires. I’ve been using it on road and on canal tow paths. Its smooth and comfortable and silent to ride. The internal nexus 8 speed years are great. You can change gear while stationary, which is handy for traffic lights, and they are advertised as maintenance free, so fingers crossed I’ll have no bother there. I’m certainly not missing the 27 gears on my previous bike, and I cycled up the pretty steep 5 Rise Locks in Bingley yesterday which is the steepest stretch I ever tackled on my old bike. My only complaint is that the bottom bracket is a tiny bit loose. Its beyond my skill to fix so I’m taking it to a shop this week. I had to pay a fortune in shipping to the UK, and another fortune in UK import duty but the bike was worth it. All in all, I love this bike, and as the sun is shining, I’m off out right now for a ride.

Thanks so much for offering bikes like this! I am so glad you are providing these bicycles. My son, who the bike is for, is mentally challenged and he loves to ride his bike. Bikes were never big enough so we would go through lots of tires, rims and frames. Again, I thank you.

The main reason I got my Zize Bike is so I can finally ride bikes with my 10 year old daughter. I had been searching high and low for a bike that would support my weight. I am so excited to be able to ride with my daughter and to know that we will have so many great times together because of my Zize Bikes investment.

I wanted to get back into riding but being 6’7” and 300 pounds it is hard to find resources for riders my size. So excited to find you guys and purchase my own Zize Bike. This thing rocks!

I love my Zize Bike because, as a 6ft tall person, it was hard to find a bike that fit! I used to love to bike as a kid, and I thrilled to reinvigorate that love when I go off to college this fall. My campus is within biking distance of all kinds of fun activities in Roanoke, and I want to take advantage of them while both exercising and having a great time 🙂

Have had this bike for over 2 years, and I ride it every single day. Without adding anything else to my routine, I’ve lost 75 pounds, just riding. So solid. Such an excellent investment.

It had been 30 years since I’d ridden. A typical summer vacation for me was an extended multi day ride. After my cancer diagnosis, it became imperative for me to improve my health. I’m thrilled to be back on my way to health by eating better and riding daily. My goals: get healthy, and live long enough to walk my daughter down the aisle.

I ride my bicycle because I love it more every time I ride. I ride because I need to lose weight and I can feel myself getting stronger. I ride because I’m a professional driver and they amped up the DOT physical, so I’m trying to get and stay healthier. I ride because my son loves it as much as I do.
