Schwinn Coston Hybrid Electric Bike for Adults, 20MPH Commuting eBike, Ride Up to 35-45 Miles on a Single Charge, 27.5-Inch Wheels, 7-Speed, Step-Thru or Step Over Aluminum Frame, Removable Battery

I’m gonna start by saying, if you’re looking for a heavy, powerful, brute of an electric bike, this isn’t it. Which is exactly what I didn’t want. The heavy duty fat tire e-bikes are just too large and cumbersome for me. I wanted an e-bike that feels like a normal bike. I’m not a daily commuter. My needs are for campgrounds and joyrides. This bike is it.Assembly wasn’t difficult but would’ve been much easier had I watched Schwinns assembly video first. The instruction manual is generic for all their bike models so some things aren’t explained in detail. I enjoy assembling things so it wasn’t a bad experience for me.Power. This bike has sufficient power for me. I’m 145lb and 5’6” (XS/S bike- perfect size for me w/seat all the way down). So far I’ve put about 2 miles just driving around my property (only on rolling hills, grass, and gravel terrain) and this bike supports me wonderfully. Did I experience some lagging going up hill, yes, but I was also figuring out the pedal assist levels and gears. Once I figured out the bike and became comfortable, I was able to use the pedals/power more efficiently when ascending. My husband (210-ish maybe?) couldn’t get it to climb the first time he rode it, however he is use to just hitting the throttle on his himiway and accelerating.I feel like I will probably be attaching our daughters trailer to the husbands himiway before I attach it to the schwinn simply because of the battery power.Schwinn customer service: I contacted schwinn prior to purchasing to get some specs to make a decision. Jasmine, the Schwinn associate for e-bikes, was wonderful before purchase and post-purchase. I was happy to be able to speak to someone about service and parts. I did order a larger battery from Schwinn that I’m excited to receive.

I have owned many bikes and my wife and I decided to try the e-bike thing. The pricing on the bike caught our attention and felt like it was a good starter e-bike. It was a very bad buy. You never feel any resistance in pedaling like you are contributing to the ride. When you crank that crank it just goes, fast. If you want to cruise around the neighborhood you will be doing it at about 13 to 15 mph. After you purchase many upgrades including a battery for longer range you will realize you should have paid a little more to get a whole lot more. Returning them was a nightmare as I dragged them to UPS station but they would not take them because of the battery. My wife had to take a day off for a shipping company to come pick them up. I appreciate Amazon backing their return policy. We moved in haste on this because of the great price, but after returning did our homework and got what we were really looking for (pictured).

Works very well out of box , but have a bike shop do final ajustments and test ride, its well worth it. Have 2 other ebikes currently from R.E.I and Raleigh ,but been ebike riding since 2010. Have one mid drive and other rear drive like this one, but like the Throttle and ride feel on this Coston CE Schwinn is much better. Very well built. Size chart maybe wrong got the small-medium just fits, I'm 6 foot/ 31" inseam guy so you may need a extra small for extra room.Can go about 25-30 miles on a charge( has a 8 amp hrs battery which is smaller than some) with a 240 lbs guy on it, you might get more or less. Color is Awesome in metalic Red and feels sturdy. I'm a retired Bike Mechanic, and this Schwinn Coston CE with front shock under $ 1000.00, rides much better than my $ 2200.00 R.E.I City 2.2 mid drive with 700c 45mm tires. The 2.6" Wide tires are very nice on gravel/street and love the hi quality all metal but quiet fenders Faster than I thought with 27.5 x 2.6 ( almost fat tires). Overall, a Great quailty in town/trail or Commuter with up to 20 mph speed really AND Throttle. Get the extended battery ( about 400.00 or less) if traveling more than 25 mile round trip, but charges pretty fast. Great Job Schwinn . paid under 1k at Amazon and worth every penny, compared to over 20 ebikes I've tested and rented since working for a bike shop, here in The Bay Area for Over 6 years. Top Schwinn model and Fun on the Run at a great price..Jay

Very goodly built good brand the brakes don't work that well the battery you got to make sure doesn't pop out shorts out I think I get done better

Should have checked Amazon first! We had to deal with the nightmare of canceling one bike and getting price match on the other from Dick's once we realized we paid twice the price ordering from them. Dick's bike experts are not needed to put this bike together - it comes 90% assembled in the box. With the video available here and on youtube for that exact bike it was a breeze for two people to pull it out of the box and use the box as a prop to finish assembly. The brake and gear adjustments are done by handy lil knobs.It is heavy, and it is tall. We got L/XL and S/M and I can tell you the seats at their lowest levels are the same height because the same seat post is used and it can't go lower into the S/M bike post. I'm 5'9" so it was ok, but I actually didn't like the seat it came with - the storage is cute but not really practical for me and it's not as comfy as my old cruiser seat. Of course my cruiser seat post didn't fit in this wider bike post so I also had to buy an adaptor, but once I did, I not only had my seat of choice I was also able to lower it a smidge since that older seat post was also shorter!We didn't get these for max speed. We bought these because we moved to the top of a hill in a hilly neighborhood and never rode our regular bikes again after the first horrible attempt....now we can cruise all over with no worries! We've been on several adventures checking out places in our new area we wouldn't have otherwise had access to. They are absolutely beautiful in the green color, haven't had any issues at all, and we love them.
