Admit it, there’s something nostalgic about Schwinn bikes — a trusty old Schwinn that reminds you of your childhood. Well, get ready for this, because the Schwinn EC1 electric bicycle gives that same old feel of a classic Schwinn cruiser but adds a nice, firm electric boost to your ride. And it’s currently on sale for a killer price of just $898.

Let’s me start off by properly framing your expectations. The Schwinn EC1 isn’t a powerhouse, and it doesn’t have top-shelf components.
But what it does have is a reliable and peppy motor, a suite of simple parts, and a comfortable pedal assist that gives you the joy of a classic cruiser ride without the effort that normally goes into pedaling a big ol’ cruiser bike.
And with a step-through-ish frame courtesy of the medium height top tube, this is one e-bike that can be a classy ride for that special man or woman in your life. So buckle up and check out the video review of the Schwinn EC1 below, then read on for all the tech specs and juicy details.
