Schwinn resurrected its classic ‘70s Hurricane as a modern e-bike
Ride like it’s 1979 and 2024.
The electric Hurricane is designed for riders 13 years and older who weigh up to 260lb, but its smaller frame and 14-inch aluminum wheels make it better suited for teens. A twist throttle built into the handlebar grip allows the bike to be ridden without pedaling, but that will result in a much smaller range, particularly when heavily relying on the electric motor while tackling steep hills. Other features include an over-sized “moto-style” padded seat design carried over from the original Schwinn Hurricane, a basic LED-based battery indicator on the handlebars, disc brakes, and front and rear lights that are always on while the bike is powered up.
