Bottom line
After some apprehension, many first-time e-Bike riders were impressed with the Vantage Fxe and and RXe. They’ve been updated since the previous models, to include flat-mount disc brakes and a 15mm thru-axle on the fork. The unrestricted, 28mph top-speed ranks these bikes as ‘Class 3’ electric vehicles, which means that they can’t be legally ridden on bicycle paths or off-road trails. A higher-priced and higher-end offering than usual, from Schwinn.Expert Reviews
