The LIV is particularly good for left handed people since it is one of the few electric bicycles with a left handed throttle.
'The best value high performance electric bike ever produced, the Liv has also been our fastest seller.' Tim Snaith, 50cycles, UK
A to B's Magazine Liv review
'The Ezee Liv has a lot of competition, but most of these machines (and quite a few costing £700 or more) can be dismissed. Against such single-speed, overweight monsters as the Powabyke Shopper, Sakura Cruiser and even more horrible things, the Ezee Liv is light years ahead. The only real competition comes from the Giant Suede and the new LPX versions of the Powacycle Windsor and Salisbury, but their performance and equipment just doesn't come into the same ballpark as the Liv.'
A to B magazine also awarded the Liv a unique ** (highly recommended) rating.
What others are saying!
'My ezee Liv was delivered this morning. I've had my first ride and I am very impressed, every bit as good as expected and seems very well made. Many thanks.'

'Received my Ezee Liv this morning! I'm now an e-biker.
Setting things up. There's not much to do apart from straighten the handle bars, attach the peddles and then adjust the seat height. I guess this all took 2 minutes. Eventually the bike was charged up and ready to go so I set off to a friend who lives 2 miles away. First impressions were very good - the bike's well made and feels very solid. It accelerated quite quickly to it's max speed. My friend insisted on a run and came back with a smile on his face. After coffee I headed into central London 8 miles away.
Gears. The gears worked well and I really didn't have to think about them much. My original intention was to not peddle all the way and see when the battery conked out but I quite enjoyed gently pedalling with the throttle at 3/4s and the gearing was just right for this.
The brakes are good - V-brakes in front for quick stops and a roller brake behind for long descents. I just used them both all the time and thought no more about them.
The suspension works fine and the ride feels comfortable. I may change the suspension saddle though to a normal saddle though just to get a lower seat height for my wife (5' 3").
The lighting is powered by a dynamo on the front wheel with a light at the front and another at the back. Both lights have bulbs. It seems to work OK but I only tried it in daylight.
Overall I really enjoyed my ride. The bike seems very well made, it has a fair turn of speed, copes well with all the hills we met especially if you gently pedal to help out'. Mike Robinson, London
