Schwinn Continental Electric Bicycle (Men's model)

The Schwinn Continental Electric Bike is top of the line with a 24-speed transmission for your legs, and a 24V, 180 watts continuous; 250 watts max electric hub motor in the front wheel, controlled by a throttle on the handlebar which can propel the bike up to 18 mph. Available range from the easily removable lithium-ion battery on the rear rack is rated at 40 - 60 miles per charge, depending on wind, terrain and load, and takes 4 hours to recharge. The Schwinn Continental electric bike $2080 - No Shipping.

Maintenance-free shaft-drive system
The Schwinn Continental Electric Bike is built using a streamlined alloy trekking frame and a clean and maintenance-free shaft-drive system instead of a traditional chain drive. The shaft drive system is simple in design and hence very reliable. The drive uses chrome molybdenum bevel gears front and rear all fully encased in a lightweight aluminum housing. An old school chain-drive looses efficiency quickly when it gets dirty but with a shaft-drive, no dirt can get into the system to create resistance and wear.

A wide-range Shimano Nexus 7 internal hub drive train makes shifting smooth and effortless. With the Shimano Nexus 7, you can shift gears while pedaling or when at a stop so you have the correct gear when you are ready to go. As if that wasn't cool enough, the Schwinn Continental has internal electric cable routing for a stealth look and added protection for electric/data cables and connectors.

Super-light Protanium® Lithium battery pack
Schwinn's choice for battery power is the Protanium® lithium polymer battery, claiming to be the lightest and most durable on the market weighing in at a little over 4 pounds,. One charge will last 40 - 60 miles.

The size, weight and convenient positioning of the Schwinn Protanium® battery gives the rider a battery they can charge, insert and forget about. Like other lithium-ion batteries, it charges fully in less than 4 hours and provides 100% power to the motor until the point when the battery is fully depleted. The Schwinn Protanium® battery will last approximately 500 - 600 charge cycles at 100 percent output. 24 volt Lithium battery charger included.
