I built my own ebike and the ride on the Marshall 27.5 has twice the stability of my home made ebike. My wife loves the ride.” — Robert J.“It was great but now even better with the extended range optional battery that has an 80 mile range.” — Joseph O.“Love it. I live in a hilly part of the city and it helps to climb those hills.” — Karyn E.“The best ride!! Highly recommend their brand and amazing customer service.” — Maria P.
This is a 6-7 year old bike, and my particular example has been ridden a good bit, so it’s not in perfect condition. But I can still review it and provide some feedback on it for people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to find anything recent. Or, at least, get some good detail photos of parts otherwise not covered. On a subsequent test climb, I experimented with the throttle while not pedaling at all. The throttle kept the bike moving, but as I neared the summit, the speed became so slow that I would have fallen over had I not started pedaling. That struck me as about right, for as I said before, I wasn’t looking for a free ride.
A few participants began designing and building small numbers of mountain bikes with frames made out of modern butted chrome-molybdenum alloy steel. Using the standard electro-forged cantilever frame, and fitted with five-speed derailleur gears and knobby tires, the Klunker 5 was never heavily marketed, and was not even listed in the Schwinn product catalog. Unlike its progenitors, the Klunker proved incapable of withstanding hard off-road use, and after an unsuccessful attempt to reintroduce the model as the Spitfire 5, it was dropped from production. The Coston CE is a hybrid e-bike with several frame sizes available in both step-thru and stand over styles.
A second look is invaluable as a rider, where we’d often even be grateful for a first look from drivers. It’s basically the Goldilocks option, offering enough performance and functionality for everyday commuters without pushing the price too high. In short, think primarily about what you want to do on your e-bike, where you’re most likely to ride it, and how much you want to spend. Starting in 2005, Schwinn also marketed Motorscooters under the Schwinn Motorsports brand.[69] Production ceased in 2011 (approx). If you leave the battery in the bike, there is a rubber port cover you need to move before plugging in the bike.
High-torque motor wheel with no drag so you can cruise freely with the Power Pack on or off. Upgrade to our LED or OLED display to view battery level, unlock settings, and up to 5 power levels. I really enjoyed my time with Schwinn’s Monroe 250 Single-Speed Electric Bike and was sad when it came time for Pacific schwinn beach cruiser Cycle — Schwinn’s parent company — to take it back. It was such a joy to ride around and truly turned me in favor of e-bikes (something I never thought possible).
