There’s not a great spot for the wheel lock key, though you can sort of wedge it into the frame if you try. In any case, it’s one of the better stock seats I’ve seen on an electric bike so far. Nice job here - this seat is absolutely suited to what the bike is good for. This is the front light (a Lumotec Oval Halogen) and reflector. Many e-bikes also include extra features like integrated lights, storage, fenders, rear racks, and more. You can even add your own extras with our selection of e-bike accessories, including water-resistant pannier bags and heavy-duty e-bike locks. So, no matter how you like to ride, there's an e-bike for you. The controller is what you use to turn the motor on/off, select your level of assistance or throttle, and monitor battery level. It even controls the integrated lights on some models. It’s everything you need right at your fingertips. When fully charged, Schwinn e-bike batteries last up to 45 miles. The LED controls are nice, but also missing some functionality. The Coston e-bike comes with a typical brick-on-a-string charger that plugs into a normal 110v outlet. Schwinn advertises that it takes about four hours to charge. You can plug the battery in while it's inside the bike, or you can use an included key to remove the battery from the bike for charging. We've also put together a guide for new electric bike riders that details each step you should take before you ride. If you're over 6', you probably already know that less than 15 percent of the American population is as tall as you. You also know first-hand how difficult it is to find pants, a comfortable bed or a bike. But don't worry, The Coston CE is the best electric bike for tall riders. Keep in mind that e-bikes are built for all different types of riders, from casual cruisers to high-octane adventurers. They’re a Toshiba SCiB unit, and have, on paper, an insane cycle life. I’ve covered the battery pack elsewhere, in great detail. Also, how to bypass the BMS if it’s gotten unhappy. I’ll start at the front interface to the drivetrain. The pedals are nice metal units, with a grippy rubber strip around them. What makes me excited about the bike is the possibilities that it opens up, but like a lot of aspects of this bike, it's something of a double-edged sword. Electric bikes are a ton of fun and I've had a great time this summer riding them. As an avid cyclist who commuted to and from the train for years in the past, I see e-bikes as a very reasonable step forward in commuting. With 2.6? tires, you’ve got a lot of air and rubber under you to tackle more than just well-manicured bicycle lanes. Hitting curbs or potholes will be smoother than most pure commuter bikes, especially considering the inclusion of the front suspension fork and suspension seat post. Aluminum frame with formed top tube design provides plenty of clearance.
