I’d like to see an ebike have a powered tail light so I don’t have to remember to test the batteries. I’m assuming with the design it’s tough to power anything on the back without a rack. I like how the Marshall is a bit more upright than a standard mountain bike but in a… Continue reading Schwinn Tailwind Electric Bicycle bicycles by owner bike sale craigslist

Schwinn Tailwind electric bike review
The upper horseshoe-shaped thing is a keyed wheel lock that lets you run a metal bar through the spokes. This keeps the rear wheel attached, and also prevents someone from biking off with it. It’s no substitute for a chain, but in a friendly community (such as a retirement community on a lake somewhere), it’s… Continue reading Schwinn Tailwind electric bike review

Chicago became the center of the American bicycle industry, with thirty factories turning out thousands of bikes every day. Bicycle output in the United States grew to over a million units per year by the turn of the 20th century. Most companies informed us they are working toward the certification process.

Lastly, the Marshall comes with integrated LED frame light and headlight, but with just a battery taillight. While you can ride in light rain or snow if needed, it is not recommended to expose the e-bike to water, as this may damage the battery and other electric components. While riding, press the thumb throttle button… Continue reading Schwinn Tailwind Review in 2015

For those not terribly familiar with electric bikes, the Schwinn’s battery charges up about as fast as its contemporaries on the market, and is actually much faster than many. On slow steep hills or trails a lower gear with a bit of assist keeps you moving. The lowest gear is a nice big ring in… Continue reading Schwinn Tailwind e-bike first take

After leaving the cemetery, I pedaled a county road that unrolls over five hilltops with valleys in between. On the downhills, I went to 0 assist and flew down, hitting 36 mph on one of them. In each case I pedaled unassisted part way up the next climb, moving to a numbered assist level only… Continue reading Schwinn Tailwind electric bike review

We test the bikes by riding them around, to see how responsive their electric motors are when going up hills and getting started from a dead stop. We also gauge the comfort of the bikes over long miles, and note the ease with which we can use their various features, such as an accompanying smartphone… Continue reading Schwinn Tailwind electric bike review

If you’re in San Francisco you’re going to want more help than if you’re cruising around Austin. Watt hours (Wh) is the most important figure for comparison—it takes into account battery output and battery life to give you a better sense of available power. Motors are also rated based on their power, measured in Watts.… Continue reading Schwinn Tailwind electric bike review
