This makes it ideal for more aggressive off-road use, and we’ve had a lot of fun playing around on this bike on our local trails that permit motorized bikes. A few Schwinn mountain bikes have hydraulic disc brakes, which offer superior modulation and stopping power at an increased price. Bikes equipped with mechanical disc brakes perform well in nearly all riding conditions and offer better modulation than rim brakes, though rim brakes are one of the most popular stopping technologies.
Another plus is at speeds upwards of 12 mph, the motor assist switches off and allows the rider to take over with their own power. For safety reasons, we like having the top end lower than other electric bikes because, well, it’s a kid’s bike. No parent wants their 7-year-old being able to go up or down any trail at 20 mph! The Sram NX drivetrain and trigger shifter make shifting between the 11 gears smooth, natural, and efficient-feeling, even for the smallest 7-year-old thumbs. Frugal Hipsters and single-speed bike lovers rejoice — State’s first electric bike is here!
It handled the gear and the passengers with ease, making the whole experience enjoyable. The Specialized Globe Haul LT’s ($3,500) most impressive trait is its versatility. It comfortably transports three passengers alongside cargo with a 441-pound total. During a delightful trip mongoose excursion to the local river beach, the Global Haul LT accommodated a full set of towels, sand toys, and a picnic dinner, all while ensuring a safe and enjoyable ride. With a torque rating of 60 Nm and a peak of 750 watts, it got nicknamed the “Motor Bike” in our tester’s household.

Schwinn bikes are built to high quality standard and are continuing to innovate, with over 100 years of cycling heritage, passion and expertise behind them.

However, after seeing the way it transformed family rides for friends, we’re excited to try them out. Safety is paramount, especially during late rides with precious cargo. Our tester often rode in the dark with her kids, especially during the fall months.
