We ended up talking to a older couple who were admiring our E-bikes. A few times we just sat and watched as the people and ships moved about. From wood sailboats to massive yachts and everything in between, you have to see it all to believe it. We worked into all kinds of cool spots to experience it all in full. The two E-bikes were the perfect way to get around as much of this area is gated or off limits to cars. With many waterways mooring boats of all types, there is so much to see. I had spent most of my life near enough to visit this beautiful place, but this was my first time at the marina. We had to ride a quiet street to get to Marina del Rey. If you have never been to this scene in Santa Monica, you need to put it on your list of things to do. Before long we were back at the street market. The two E3 Metros were easy to ride in the fairly heavy traffic on the path. Those are something else, some day I’ll have to give one a try. We followed a rider on a tall bike for a little while. In most areas the walkers have their own path, but in some areas it is shared. The bike path along the sand is wide and marked for travel in both directions. We sat and watched the crowds for a while before heading back south with Marina del Rey as our next destination. A big fillet of fresh fish cooked to perfection made those tacos shine. Not expecting the best food, we were surprised by how great the fish tacos were. We rode on, but before long decided to turn back and do lunch at one of the beachfront food stands. Lots of bikes and people were out enjoying the perfect holiday weather. We headed north up the Santa Monica boardwalk and our adventure began.Īfter a tasty fish taco lunch, we get ready to continue our ride.Īfter passing the mile long street market area we got to the pier and amusement park. The controls on the E3 Metro are easy to operate and understand so we were gone in a flash. We are both familiar with the way they work and the such. Barbara and I have been riding our eZips for the longest time and she rides all the test bikes I am offered. With food offered, we said thanks anyway got ready to head out towards the beach.Ī quick run-down on the controls of the Metro was not really needed but accepted. With racks front and rear for our gear, my bike even had a great rear pack that held my camera perfectly.
Before long they had a pair of rental E3 Metros ready for us to enjoy our afternoon on. Mike and Eric are well versed in the IZIP line and Rudy cranks the wrenches in the back.
Plenty of customers were on hand, but we still managed to talk to the whole crew there. Every model in their line is on display, and plenty of demo and rental bikes are available. With E-bikes everywhere, they even have them as wall decorations. With more room and a nicer shop, they have really made it their own. They had been enjoying a nice storefront at Venice beach, but moved to this awesome new location just a short distance away. The IZIP Store there is not brand new, but bigger and better than ever. The timing was perfect and instead of packing them off, I delivered them in person. I had just been asked by BML to ship the demo Ferei headlights (story on those coming soon) I’ve been testing up to Ethan (who runs the show at the IZIP Store) so he could try them out. But, as luck would have it, they were having a Labor Day sale and BBQ over the holiday weekend. Well, the grand opening was on a weeknight and many miles north of our home-base so we couldn’t go. They had also invited us to share in the grand opening of their new IZIP Store. Right now I am knee-deep in my E3 Ultra excitement. You may know that in addition to all the other bikes I ride and test, Currie Technologies has offered me extended rides on every E-bike they offer. My bike blog continues to take us to some of the most fun places. Right on Main Street in Santa Monica, the IZIP Store really stands out.
