http://www.gizmag.com Bicycles are a fun, environmentally friendly way to get from A to B under your own steam, but we're not all Tour de France cyclists, so the addition of electric assist systems helps to increase our range and leave the car in the garage more often. The latest offering from Schwinn - the Tailwind - will hit US dealers at the end of this month and arrive in Europe in Spring equipped with a battery that not only charges in a world beating 30 minutes via a standard outlet (or a lightning 7 minutes via a 40 amp commercial charger), but also guarantees 2000 cycles before it's full capacity begins to diminish. We took a closer look at the Schwinn at the 2009 CES.en gizmag.com http://www.gizmag.com/schwinn-tailwind-electric-bicycle-boasts-worlds-fastest-charging-time/10775/#comment-2413 http://www.gizmag.com/schwinn-tailwind-electric-bicycle-boasts-worlds-fastest-charging-time/10775/#comment-2413 Mon, 18 May 2009 15:50:52 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/schwinn-tailwind-electric-bicycle-boasts-worlds-fastest-charging-time/10775/#comment-514 http://www.gizmag.com/schwinn-tailwind-electric-bicycle-boasts-worlds-fastest-charging-time/10775/#comment-514 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 23:22:22 -0600
