Chain free bike with electrical assist

American bicycle manufacturer Schwinn has released their 2008 line-up. Among the new bikes are two models with both chain-less shaft transmission and a small electrical assistance motor.

The motor and battery is pretty well integrated in the design; the batteries placed under the baggage holder.

The batteries will be a lithium polymer variant that Schwinn claims to be the lightest and most durable yet. One charge will last 60 miles.

The price for these bikes will range from $1,499- $1,999 (US)
