Who is this bike perfect for?

The Schwinn Coston DX e-bike is suitable for practical purposes as a town commuter. As its name suggests, this e-bike is perfect for adults with 5’4” to 6’4” heights. This aluminum-framed, the lightweight bike is the right fit for riders who are 68-74-inch tall. The sturdy construction of the bike gives a great visual impression that you can use it ruggedly

The Coston DX would be the right choice for the beginner or younger and the adult. That’s not just because of the comfortable layout and excellent lighting; it’s also a great price. Moreover, the bike has an ideal weight distribution, unique storage box, and cable integration.

Performance

You’ll not feel you need to struggle to pedal this sturdy Coston DX. Zero issues are out there while going to the mid and higher-support range, maintaining up to 20m/h speed on the even terrains. Also, the motor doesn’t struggle when you climb hills riding this bike. You can maintain a solid mileage of 17-18m/h in the hilly terrain with a little more pedaling effort. If you’re not in a mountainous region, you’ll get up to 45 miles every charge. The bike’s motor is smooth enough to engage at all assist levels. Unlike some other e-bikes, it’ll not make you hurled forward. Apart from a powerful motor, the bike offers fantastic performance with the larger wheels, rear rack, lights, fenders, etc.

Grand Versatility

The handle of the Coston DX is more responsive than many other e-bikes currently available in the market. You can dive into curves or ride to shoulders at speed, thanks to this feature. As the brand is a leader in the bike market, this bike is easy to get from different retailers and their official websites. The bike comes mostly assembled, and you may need an extra 20-minute to complete the build.

User-friendly Console

A small and user-friendly console is on the handlebar’s left side. It has three buttons – up, down, and a power button in its middle. You can adjust the pedal support levels using these up and down buttons. And the middle button of power/enter helps you turn your bike on when holding it. However, don’t forget to switch on the battery before turning your bike on. This console indicates the remaining battery, bike speed, pedal-assist levels, and the total distance.

Battery & Charging

You already know the Coston DX comes with a 360W battery with 21700 cells and takes about five hours to get charged. A port is available on the frame’s side to charge the battery without removing it. Also, you can use its keys to take the battery out and set it separately. The battery fits nicely inside the base tube, making the bike sleek-looking.
