However, because of the dedicated external charger, you will either need to bring the bike back home or bring the charger with you to top up the battery. The battery capacity is high enough for extended riding. We rode the Tailwind for an hour without discharging the battery completely. We tried the Tailwind up a particularly challenging hill, putting it in its lowest gear and putting the electric assist on maximum.

I suspect this is designed to reduce battery drain when idle, but it doesn’t really work. There’s not a great spot for the wheel lock key, though you can sort of wedge it into the frame if you try.

Schwinn advertises the Tailwind as being rechargeable in just half an hour.

It’s still lower than many mountain bikes making it easier to get on and off, especially on awkward spots on the trail. The middle power/enter button turns the bike on while holding it. The battery has to be on before turning the bike on which got me the first time I tried. A small, easy to use console is on the left side of the handlebar. It’s got 3 buttons, up down and a power/enter button in the middle. The Marshall looks like a mountain bike with a comfy cruiser feel to it.
