Overview

For those searching for a sturdy hybrid model in a medium price segment, the Schwinn Voyageur Electric Bike is a great choice. Along with a 5-level pedal assist function, powerful motor, and adjustable suspension, you will have a choice between two frame types.

Who is this bike perfect for?

Considering the frame design, wheels, and electronic parts, this is an ideal pick for both short and tall adults who enjoy occasional or daily rides and even wish to conquer some hills and jam on rough terrains.

This is a well-balanced choice if you prefer an upright riding position. It’s true that you won’t be able to bring a lot of items with you due to the limited space for bags, but this hybrid bike allows you to travel longer distances effortlessly.

Performance

The first thing worth mentioning is the battery capacity. If your routes are short, it can easily keep the charge for a week or so and give you the full power. On the other hand, getting up to 65 miles per charge is more than enough for a long trip. The LCD screen is a nice addition here as it has an intuitive interface and stays visible in all conditions.

Overall, it might give you a firmer feel because there is no shock, but the adjustable fork and seat suspension do a great job of reducing the vibrations. With a switch of a dial, you can turn it back into a road bike for cruising the streets and reaching top speed.

Conclusion

This hybrid bike can be found in a medium price range, and here, you’ll definitely get what you pay for. To start with, you’ll be surprised with how well the 8-speed Schwinn drivetrain and 250-watt motor work together. This model is designed with versatility in mind, so it can be used for both hills and roads.

The fork allows adjustability, while the Li-Ion battery lasts for several trips. Moreover, the upright riding position is what makes it a fantastic option for everyday use. According to your preferences, you can pick either a medium step-over or large step-through frame with the only difference of a motor location. The aluminum construction in both cases is lightweight and reliable.
