Schwinn Tailwind eBike Recharges in Just 30 Minutes

Summer may be over but that doesn’t mean you have to put the bike away just yet. With the way the economy is going you may need a bicycle to get around. Just announced last night the Schwinn Tailwind eBike “utilizes the Toshiba Super Charge ion battery to deliver an industry leading 30 minute recharge time.” Each charge will get you 25 to 30 miles, and the best part is that it can be recharged using a standard residential electrical outlet. However don’t fret, because you can still peddle your way home the old fashioned way since it is also a 8 speed bike. The one thing that is a bit hefty is the price. Coming in at $3199.99, it could be a bit much for those who only plan on using this to bike around in the park. With the new addition of the Tailwind, Schwinn will have a total of seven electrical bikes to offer consumers.

They may have them out but they are still as expensive as motor scooters most places and more so than some scooters where I live.

Here at AmpedBikes, we have tested every battery available Li+, Lico2, Limn, Lifepo4 we are having an inframe injection mold manufactured for us and BOY if I could get my hands on these batteries!

The bike is completely overpriced and in my opinion they did not do their homework with the US market.

The benefits of riding an electric assisted bicycle as a commuter are immense!

1. The average commuter adds 3.55 tons of Co2 to the atmosphere yearly.
2. By riding an electric pedal assisted bike even 4 days a week will reduce the Co2 emissions by 3 tons per person yearly!
3. Your health! You don’t even notice it but month after month by commuting you start to actually pedal. You are getting healthy and do not even realize it.
4. Stress.. Your daily stress that only gets compounded in traffic on the way home is melted away by commuting by e-bike, increasing your mental health and daily outlook immensely.
5. Productivity.. If you encourage your employees to commute their productivity is increased by 30% over the first month.

There are sooo many reasons to do it and no reasons not to.
