It’s tough to find a more affordable ebike than Swagtron’s latest models

Swagtron, a company best known for its line of hoverboards and electric skateboards, has expanded its foray into the ebike market by adding three new models to its existing lineup. Two of the models are of the lightweight and foldable variety of electric bike, while the third is a fat bike designed for the youth market. Each of the electric bikes carries affordable price points that should make them more attractive to potential customers.

The two foldable models include the Swagcycle EB-5 and the Swagcycle Pro, which builds on Swagtron’s original Swagcycle model. Both are lightweight and compact, but also fold down for easy transport in the trunk of a car or storage in a closet or under a desk at the office. The two ebikes feature durable aluminum frames and are available in either black or white.

Aside from that, however, the two models vary somewhat in terms of performance and specs. For instance, the EB-5 features a 250-watt motor and 14-inch wheels that allow it to reach speeds of up to 15.5 mph over a range of about 15.5 miles. The Swagcycle Pro, on the other hand, offers a 350-watt motor and a top speed of 18 mph while covering the same distance. The Pro version also comes with a built-in LED headlight and includes connectivity with the Swagtron iOS and Android app for tracking distance, speed, and other metrics. The EB-5 also features both pedal and electric drive options, while the Pro is electric only.

New Swagtron SwagCycle Pro Electric Bike!

The third new bike to be added to the Swagtron catalog is the EB-6 electric fat bike. This model is designed for younger riders and its frame is suitably kid-friendly. The bike features 20-inch wheels and 4-inch tires to go along with its 350-watt motor that allows it to roll along at speeds of up to 18.6 mph with a maximum range of 20 miles. A seven-speed Shimano drivetrain, paired with front and rear disc brakes, round out the package.

All three models of ebike are available now and offer entry-level pricing. Both the EB-5 and Swagcycle Pro carry a price tag of $600 while the EB-6 is the most expensive of the new models with a $840 price point.

Aventon goes all in on smart security and connectivity on Level 3 commuter e-bike
Aventon Level 3 right profile with Queen Mary in the background.

Aventon invited me to a pre-launch press briefing on its new Level.3 commuter e-bike in Long Beach, California. The Level.3 has several significant upgrades from the Level.2, including increased range and an adjustable suspension seat post, but the greatest upgrade is the Aventon Control Unit (ACU).

The ACU is a proprietary technology that incorporates 4G, Bluetooth connectivity, and GPS tracking. It enables a host of security, convenience, and personalization features. The Level 3 isn't the first Aventon model with the ACU; the Abound SR utility and cargo e-bike was the initial ACU-equipped e-bike.

Aventon launches Abound LR super-cargo smart e-bike
Aventon Abound LR left rear three-quarter view facing Long Beach harbor.

Aventon announced the Abound LR e-bike, a longer alternative to the Abound SR and original Aventon Abound cargo e-bike lineup. During a pre-launch press briefing for the Abound LR in February, Aventon characterized the Abound SR as an all-purpose utility and cargo bike and the Abound LR as a cargo carrier for families and a possible replacement for a second car.

The new long-rack LR version shares the short-rack SR's technical and ACU-based smart features and most physical details, except length and weight. The Abound LR is 8 pounds heavier and 7.1 inches longer than the SR. The two new Abound models are similar to the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, two other vehicles built for the same purpose; one's just longer.
