Reece cycles to bring one of the fastest-charging electric bikes across the Atlantic

Schwinn’s Tailwind electric bike, one of the quickest charging electric bikes currently available, will be coming to the UK this spring via Reece Cycles.

The Tailwind, which is showcasing at this weekend’s CES – running from Thursday January 8th to 11th in Las Vegas – will have an approximate retail price of £2,750 when it is brought to the UK (subject to the exchange rate).

One of the bikes key features is the short charge time - only 30 minutes when using a standard electrical outlet - which is considerably shorter than most other ebikes currently available.
