wow the new iZip dash & peak look pretty nice.. :)
(more like a regular bike, not so funky looking haha) 8)
has a throttle & more affordable than specialized, etc..

as for Epik..
in their defense Specialized spells Epic with a "c" .. :lol:
its like back when cannondale wanted ppl to pay them for using "freeride".. :roll:

Now here's what gives the Specialized Turbo a major advantage over other electric bikes. The maximum legal speed for electric bikes in United States in 20 mph. But, as Specialized's attorneys shrewdly figured out, that only applies to a bike's maximum unassisted speed. Because the Turbo doesn't provide any juice without some actual pedaling, it's able to hit a max speed of 28 mph before the motor cuts off.


currie e3 dash and peak
so currie is doing the same law interpretation....or re-interpretation...

http://www.electricbike.com/currie-2014/
The Dash is a street/urban bike with a 500-watt, 48-volt rear hub motor, which can propel the bike to 28-mph (45km/h) in pedal assist mode and 20-mph (32 km/h) in throttle-only mode. This is a big step for Currie to introduce a bike this fast (they are usually very cautious about releasing an ebike that can be considered “illegal”) MSRP is $2500

The Peak is a 27.5” wheeled hard-tail with Currie’s all new proprietary mid drive system, a high-torque, 48-volt BB-mounted motor with throttle and torque sensing pedal assist modes. MSRP $3000

edit,
i see it for sell here, (but i dont think its available)

The E3 Peak is a trailblazer in all senses. This isn’t last years commuter model fitted with a big fork and knobby tires; we engineered the Peak from the ground up around the only drive technology that makes sense on a mountain bike (hint: it’s not a hub motor). We spent months tweaking the software so it rides just right, then we rode it hundreds of miles just to make sure. we’re sure.
This is a bike to be ridden on the back trails and to the high peaks—the ones that were always a bit too far away before. And with a 28+ mph assisted top speed, you might as well ride it to the trailhead, too.

Our 48V centerdrive motor is the right tool for the job. Hub motors are great on the road, but when it gets really hairy and really steep they just don’t measure up. Where hubs compromise, centerdrives excel.
Easy maintenance: when you get a flat on the trail, you’ll thank us for using a quick release rear wheel.
Downtube-mounted battery: who puts a rack on a mountain bike?
Real engineering: we built it to be what it is—and only that.
Quality component spec: A Rockshox fork, 650B wheels and hydraulic braking mean you can ride it as hard as you want.
E-SYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS
Centerdrive motor for unbelievable torque, perfect for hills and off-road use.
3 levels of power assist while pedaling.
Harder pedaling gives more power (torque input magnification).
Throttle override in PAS for extra power if needed.
Accurate battery charge readings (SOC).
Full cyclometer functions like speed, range, etc.

they also list these italjet ebikes that i never seen before,
