Three More Reasons Why You Should Ride An eBike
Posted on | February 20, 2009 | No Comments
By riding a pedal assisted eBike just four days a week it’s estimated you can reduce Co2 emissions by 3 tons!
Your health. Even with assisted pedaling you’ll be up and moving. The smooth motion of pedaling is much easier on your joints than the jarring up and down of jogging.
Reduced stress - anyone who routinely exercises can tell you that it can be a great stress reliever. Many consider it their ‘thinking time’ or ‘decompression time’ after a hard day at work
Five Reasons To Commute To Work Using An eBike
Posted on | February 17, 2009 | No Comments
- Save gas. With the up and down price of gas you’ll keep money in your pocketbook
- Easy commuting - no sweaty mornings where co-workers avoid you (of course, you may like that they avoid you on somedays, and you can always choose to peddle harder - LOL)
- Hills are much easier! A big bonus here in Seattle. When I first started commuting via bicycle the hills almost did me in. I’d arrive at my destination out of breath, read faced and drenched in sweat.
- Easy to recharge at work, by the time you’re ready to head home the bike is ready for the return journey
- Getting started after you stop with an eBike is much easier than the traditional bicycle. I’d often get caught at a stop light in high gear. With an electric you’ll have a little extra starting power to get you rolling along again.
cnettv - Tech Review of the Schwinn eBike

Tech review of the Schwinn ebike - it’s a way into the the video, but it’ll show you it side by side with a regular bike.
I’m surprised to see the Schwinn Tailwind is a little bigger than I thought.
Oh, I’d love to do a review of this bike!
Schwinn, if you’re listening please send one my way. I have a video camera and a DSLR for great photos I’d be happy to share, and tons of places to ride this bike.
And, unlike Central Park here in the Northwest there’s lots of room for bicyclists.

The Tailwind Is A eBike Hybrid
Posted on | January 27, 2009 | 5 Comments
The Tailwind is a eBike hybrid and can be ridden in either motor-assist mode or as a conventional bike. The eight-speed Tailwind utilizes a lightweight, 6000 series aluminum alloy frame and an SR Suntour NEX-4610 suspension fork.
The electric motor in the Tailwind is housed in the hub of the front wheel, an innovation found in all Schwinn eBike models. In addition, the Tailwind utilizes the Plug N’ Drive removable battery pack which is built into the rear bike rack systems, allowing riders to quickly detach the battery for recharging.
It is projected that owners will realize an industry leading 2,000 (minimum) recharge cycles with the Tailwind electric bicycle versus the industry standard of 600 – 1,000 charges before needing to replace the battery. Tailwind riders will also find they can ride 25 to 30 miles per charge.
The Schwinn’s Tailwind features:
- A Shimano Nexus 8-speed internal geared rear hub,
- A brushless motor with 180 watts of continuous power or 250 watts at peak power,
- Schwinn’s PowerDial™ on and off power assist system, with three pedal assist power settings,
- Rear roller braking system,
- Double wall alloy rims and Continental Town Ride tires (with flat protection and reflective sidewall),
- Inside-the-frame electric wire routing,
- Full fenders, chain cover, Basta Defender wheel lock, and B+M dynamo powered light set,
- Selle Royal Look In gel saddle (seat), with suspension seat post and adjustable rise stem,
- Two standard frame sizes (M, L), and
- One step-thru frame size (M).
