Schwinn is an American bike manufacturer that has been providing bikes to millions of people for over 100 years. The company is well-known for producing two lines of bikes. One line consists of high-end bikes distributed through specialist shops. The other line is more accessible thanks to discounted prices and is found in big-name stores like Wall-Mart and Sears.
In 2019 Schwinn entered the electric bike market, intending to provide affordable ebikes so more people can enjoy the advantages they bring.
