Craft your own alternative energy plan.

The price at the pump? Not a worry when you have the Schwinn Transit electric bike. It's the comfortable, stable, utility vehicle that deftly navigates the roads without making you pay the price at the pump – or getting snared in bumper-to-bumper traffic. The best part is, with the pedal assist system you decide if it's all you, or if the front hub motor is doing some of the work.

The Transit features:
  • Relaxed commuter geometry with a stable, upright riding position and swept back handlebars.
  • Low-maintenance and simple to operate 3-speed internally geared drivetrain.
  • Reflective graphics to help you stand out from the crowd.
Electric Bike Features
  • Easy to use - Schwinn's revolutionary Plug N' Drive battery pack cleanly integrates the battery into the rear rack, no wires or plugs to mess with. Plug N' Drive makes charging and storing the battery easy, unlike systems that house the battery in the frame. Take the battery, not the entire bike, to the outlet for charging.
  • Lightweight Performance - The Schwinn Plug N' Drive system adds only about 12 pounds to the total weight of the bike. With high-quality aluminum alloy frames and name brand parts from Shimano, SRAM and SR Suntour Schwinn electric bikes are among the lightest on the market.
  • Extend your ride time - Schwinn's Plug N' Drive lithium polymer battery has the power to get you where you need to go. With an average range of 25 to 30 miles per charge, depending on your riding style and terrain, a Schwinn electric bike is perfect for running errands or commuting to work.
  • On-demand – With the Schwinn pedal assist system, the ride is tailored to you. With multiple settings, you can dial in just the amount of help you want, anything from a little extra boost to full on hill climbing power.
