Schwinn Coston CE E-Bike Review: A Double-Edged Sword

This style creates a natural sensation that one would typically feel while riding a bike.Most Schwinn e-bikes feature a hub drive motor because it requires little to no maintenance. In the event a replacement is needed, the motor is easy to replace as part of the wheel. Take your adventure further than ever before with an electric mountain bike. These e-bikes deliver the same trail-ready riding experience with the addition of a pedal assist motor and rechargeable battery that let you roam farther and take on steep hills with ease.

A 7-speed transmission from Microshift also adds to the commuter street-cred, giving those in hilly areas the ability to run through the gears on hills. The Schwinn Coston CE falls in the middle of its e-bike model line, offering a slight upgrade over the Schwinn Marshall but without some of the features found on the higher-end Coston DC. Here at Schwinn, we worked hard to develop a high-quality ride that won’t break the bank.

Otherwise, the headlight is adjustable to your preference, and the rear light is built into the fender itself. The Coston e-bike is controlled with a handlebar-mounted LED panel with three buttons on the side. The panel displays your speed and power level, plus you can cycle through other functions like an odometer, tripometer, and other stats like schwinn electric bike average speed, max speed, and total ride time. Head and taillights are also included for improved see and be-seen visibility. Easily adapt to your terrain – hills, flat areas, and everything in between – with just a twist. Keep in mind that e-bikes are built for all different types of riders, from casual cruisers to high-octane adventurers.

You will receive the key(s), charger(s), all the accessories you see on the pictures if there are some (rack, basket, bag, .. except the bike stand) and the user guide if we have it. The previous owner can be a person but also can be a bike shop or the manufacturer directly. Indeed more than 50% of our stock comes directly from overstock of retailers/manufacturers, that is why the communicated mileage is often below 5 miles.

Integrated LED lights on the battery add to the sleek, modern look while helping others to see you on low light rides. Integrated headlights and battery operated taillights are also included for improved see and be-seen visibility. For seniors, we recommend an e-bike with a step-thru frame and upright riding position. This frame style makes it easier to get on and off the bike, and an upright riding position is easier on the lower back.

But there’s another class of EV that might have slipped below your radar, but which has transformed my summer in very unexpected ways. The bike was provided by Schwinn for the purposes of the review. Aluminum cruiser frame provides lightweight durability with a vintage-inspired look that never goes out of style. Plus, the comfortable upright riding position makes riding a delight.

Of course, the premier feature of this e-bike is the “e” part. This is a class 1/class 2 e-bike in that it can be a pedal-assist bike up to 20 mph or you can use a dedicated throttle lever without pedaling. You will want to check your local regulations to find out what is legal in your area. Most places are fine with class 1 e-bikes, but different municipalities have different rules pertaining to class 2 and above. The standard batteries that come on our Marshall, Coston CE and Coston DX bikes are good for up to 45 miles of riding.

Take on greater adventures with our e-bikes, which stay true to the superior quality that’s made Schwinn famous for over 125 years.

Indeed, Upway being a brand new business in the US, we are required to charge sales taxes only as from a determined level of revenue collected per state. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out at  or via our chat. There is a company called Rechargeable Power Energy (RPE) that can repack and restore your original battery. I have heard good things about them, that they perform this service for mainstream ebike manufacturers and double check the circuits when performing a restore or upgrade.
