The Schwinn Coston DX 27.5 Review is a commuter ready electric bike with upright handlebar, adjustable suspension seat post, and comfortable plus sized tires. It comes with sturdy aluminum alloy fenders, a rear rack, and integrated lights. In addition to the front and rear lights, there are two highly visible light bars built into the sides of the downtube battery pack. The bike is available in two frame sizes, two colors, and Schwinn also sells a step-thru version! Decent 7-speed drivetrain with wider 14 to 34 tooth freewheel. Durable sealed 12 magnet cadence sensor for pedal assist and a variable speed trigger throttle. Protective chainring guard and color matched chain cover keep you clean. Excellent weight distribution, cable integration, and unique saddle storage box. Lower capacity 250 watt hour battery pack and 350 watt geared hub motor. Slower 2 amp charger (but it's very light and compact). Fairly heavy overall weight considering it doesn't have a suspension fork.
