Streamline Electric Bicycle - Bike the Drive
Re: Electric Bike by Schwinn
Okay now you might ask, what in the name of sweet
pickles would an electric bike do for you? The answer straight from the horse's
mouth is that it is the perfect time for the electric bikes to hit the market.
Sure, you must have heard of electric cars making a rage in the market because
the ‘environment guys’ have got exactly what they want and propagate - less
damage, less pollution. Vehicles powered by gasoline is perhaps the last thing
that Mother Earth needs right now and when we refer to the electric cars, well,
let’s just say that we can do without them too. Let us admit that these cars
use a lot of energy to support their hefty designs, especially the ones with an
AC! Harnessed energy and that exhausted is not going to last forever.
So what we need is something really light and
environment friendly that doesn't consume much energy. What could be the savior
other than the electric cars you may ask? Well, electric bicycles of course.
What good is a bicycle if it is electric? Now that's the question we're going
to answer. Sure, cycling is one of the best exercise-cum-recreational
activities that everyone enjoys. So what good does electricity do in a cycle?
Not every family member can ride at the same speed. It is not possible for your
grandparents to always keep up with your speed you know, and hence, a little
electric power is all that they need to give them that extra push on those
steep slopes.
The Schwinn Streamline electric bicycle is a little
marvel that anybody can ride on. Don't get confused and scratch your head
trying to look for the motor, because you just won't find it. Even if you want
to see what it looks like on the Internet, please don't try to adjust your
monitor to figure out where the motor is because this little baby flaunts a
very sleek design. This time around, Schwinn has teamed up with Protanium Inc,
making lithium batteries and in-hub motors all the way that is very well
concealed. The aspect that makes this product unique is the fact that the motor
is concealed in the rack behind the seat. So, the bicycle looks like any other
if not examined inch by inch.
Schwinn is known for electric bikes for a long time.
However, the results are like ‘bicycles on steroids’ and some models tend to
look very freakish. But, the electric cycle looks really simple with the
ability to cover a 40-mile range within a mere 4 hours of charging. One thing
that distinguishes the Schwinn Streamline electric bicycle from the others is
that with the limited charging, it runs on full power. It means that even if
the battery weakens, the bike won't slow down! It continues to deliver complete
power, unless of course you totally run out of battery.
The bicycle weighs an incredible 45 lbs which is
really light considering its make (the motor and battery concealment). All of
the electric components in this bike are within its frames. Given below are
some of the features of the Schwinn Streamline electric bicycle:
-
An alloy trekking frame streamlined
with aero tubing.
-
A Shimano Nexus 7 internal hub with
drive terrain.
-
It also has a mounted suspension
fork that brings rigidity to the bike.
-
The battery used is ‘long range’ and
it is perhaps the most durable and the lightest battery available in the
market. One charge makes the bike good for 60 miles, depending upon the
terrain, weather conditions, and the weight of the cyclist of course.
-
The Plug n' Drive system that
Schwinn uses is the easiest when it comes to recharging the battery after use.
The lithium polymer battery can be removed and kept for charging for hours
until the battery is completely charged. Another aspect to be noted is that
there are no wires at all that are connected to the system.
-
All thanks to the aluminum make of
this bicycle - it is lightweight, which is truly an achievement in the electric
bicycle industry.
-
Since all the wiring is internal,
the bike looks really neat and sleek. The internal wiring also acts as an added
protection.
-
The wheel changing option for this
bike is really convenient since the front wheel is easily detachable and at the
same time there is no handling of the wires or disconnecting them or anything
as complicated.
-
The rear of the bicycle design also
supports a battery carrier, a kick stand and a mounted bell on the handle bar.
-
The rear brake is a Shimano Nexus
roller brake and the front brake is the Tektro alloy linear pull.
So pedaling zero emission all the way is exactly what
Schwinn Streamline electric bicycle is looking forward to making a reality and
when beauty and ecology go hand in hand, Schwinn just can't be wrong.
