With the maximum exemption set at $200, Washington’s 6.5% sales tax rate means e-bikes priced up to around $3,000 could be purchased without paying any sales tax, if the bill passes. There are two battery options, 625Wh and the dual battery system of 1125Wh and a choice of Kiox and Nyon displays and dropped top tube frame on the single battery options. Electric bikes amplify your pedaling power and your ability to do and see more. They’re quick and smooth, with predictable, easy-to-control power. While the battery seems to last for a while on low power mode, high mode drains it quicker.
For a little more money, the Schwinn Coston DX provides a more complete spec list and a more powerful motor. Schwinn also offers a Mendocino cruiser, though this looks more vintage than beach styled. Because its battery is mounted underneath its rear rack, SixThreeZero Around the Block e-cruiser has more of that classic beach cruiser look. Kent currently offers three electric models for adults, plus one for kids. Alongside the 27-inch Kent Electric and Kent Step-Through Electric, the Cruiser is more of a unisex offering and is available exclusively from Walmart.
It can help your kids ride even longer, extending that family Sunday ride even further than 15 miles (25 km). Its 24V 5.2Ah battery is adorably small yet provides up to 15 miles (25 km) of range if the kid keeps it in low power mode. Mid-drive motors, on the other hand, are more costly kent hybrid bike to produce due to their more complicated design. That complication also makes them a bit more touchy, at least for new riders that aren’t used to shifting a bike. Kent’s Electric Cruiser has plenty of limitations, but it’s doubtful the people buying this bike will care too much.
At this price point, you’re going to have to deal with some compromises. I wish the bike came standard with thru-axles or quick-release kent bayside cruiser skewers for the wheels. If I ever got a flat on the road, it’s going to be that much more difficult to change the tire.
