The Bafang Max mid-motor is efficient, extremely quiet, and capable of climbing steeper hills if…... Overall, given the fundamental shift I have seen in my personal bike riding habits this past summer, I very much enjoy having an e-bike. The Coston e-bike is a good example of that in a much more approachable price range than some others. The LED controls are nice, but also missing some functionality. The Coston e-bike is controlled with a handlebar-mounted LED panel with three buttons on the side.

That adds a nice nighttime glow to the bike to give you better side visibility – an area where most bikes are lacking. Around the block, on the boardwalk, or at the beach - you're always riding in style on a Schwinn cruiser. These vintage-inspired bikes feature padded seats and upright riding positions for extra comfort every time you ride. The bike offers a smooth, comfortable ride, enough assist options to either get a workout or just cruise, and has plenty of range to get me around town. That it's also one of the more inexpensive e-bikes on the market makes the Monroe 250 an excellent choice for anyone buying their first e-bike or looking to add to their lineup. The front fork evens out the bumps on the pavement and the dirt.
