  • The question is whether you could ride this expensive piece of electric junk in the rain or not? Id really hate to electricute myself and break my over-priced bike at the same time.

  • OUCH!!! Overly priced...if u can get an electric scooter for $200 , a bike shouldnt be that much more....

  • charges in 30 minutes, lasts 5 minutes

  • @skettcharmstrong Electrecuted with 12 volts? Wow... :)

  • overpriced!!!! too much for such an ugly bike

  • You could convert a gas guzzling car to electric for that price!

  • OH and you can ride this in the rain I have. It has a range about 12 miles with pedaling I had an average speed of 16 mph and I am terribly out of shape. The battery pack on mine has only 2 batteries so it would not be too expensive to have additional batteries should you feel you need the additional power.

  • Go to wal mart buy an electric bike for around $400. and just buy an additional set of batteries and keep a set charged at work and at home get to your destination swap them out charge time is 6 hours but it is far cheaper than $3K+ this way you save $3K.

  • Nice commercial for Schwinn. Is this AP news or AP infomercials?

  • Bozo the Clown used to give away Schwin bikes back in the day.

  • YIKES! I did not know it was +$3,ooo!
