SWAGTRON Introduces EB-5 Folding Electric Bike for Eco-Friendly Urban Commuting

COSTA MESA, Calif., May 4, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SWAGTRON™, the undisputed leader in electric rideables, expands its cycling line with the introduction of the EB-5 electric folding bike, a lightweight city bike perfect for urban commuting.

Building on the success of its UL-certified hoverboards, electric skateboards, electric scooters and the original Swagcycle, the brand seeks to further utilize its expertise in the burgeoning segment by offering electric bicycles that blend technology, performance and value.

"We're seeing a shift, and electric bikes aren't just for recreation," says Director of Marketing Jason Wakefield. "They're viable eco-friendly transportation options for people in all walks of life."

The EB-5 is a lightweight, aluminum folding bike designed for navigating urban landscapes and public transportation. It comes packed with technology and features in a low-maintenance design at a very accessible price point.

Combining a smooth and powerful 250-watt motor with the ability to quickly fold (approximately 10 seconds) to a compact 26 by 23.6 inches, the EB-5 seamlessly blends modern e-mobility with unmatched portability and storage. In fact, it boasts what is perhaps the best size-to-performance ratio on the market.

The engine is engaged via twist-grip throttle or a "pedal to go" mode similar to pedelec. But with the ability to pedal, you can still get your heart pumping and you're never limited by the battery's range alone.

It's the perfect last-mile solution for commuting or recreating in the city. It is light enough to be carried on stairs and elevators, and stores easily, even in the limited space many of us have in the home and office.

SWAGTRON also recently released the EB-6 Youth Electric Fat Bike and Swagcycle PRO compact e-bike.

The EB-5 is available now at SWAGTRON.com

MSRP: $599.99
