This is a Schwinn Electric Bicycle, the seller is not listing the model name, does anyone have any guesses?
This is the only picture he posted with the ad, nothing typed in the ad itself states anything.
I actually found the name through a google search, but I will let the post stand. I like this because of the battery location, I already have this bike (2nd picture below) which places the feet wider apart.

Whats this bike model?

Whatever it is,, it's a currie motor bike, likely 24v. The frame could be nice,, it's slightly longtail, which makes a more comfy ride. In any case,, any more than $50 I'd tell the guy forget it.
 
Oh the memories. That was my first ebike.
It's a Schwinn IZip circa 2008. 24v,450watt brushed Currie motor, SLA's.
Sold at Canadian Tire for about $450, 8 years ago.

I miss mine, as shitty as it was.


Edit.
Nice Strong by the way. I converted a couple of those to brushless/lithium.
 
Yeah I use my MXUS 3000W V2 on the Strong with my Lyen 18fet.
I did my first ever picture search and found an add on craiglist naming the bike name as an IZIP as you mentioned Brentis. I like the battery placement making the wheelbase slighly longer. But the one I am looking at is $300. I would say its worth $100cdn or $65usd as mentioned. Otherwise a traingle bag is good enough on a cruiser bike.


Are there any model names related to IZIP? Like IZIP "Mountain Express" (Made up name)

Includes:
Madison-based Pacific Cycle, which purchased Schwinn out of bankruptcy in 2001, is set to launch three models of battery-powered, pedal assist bicycles. The move is designed to energize the Schwinn brand, keep aging boomers with a love of nostalgia on a bike and to grab a share of the growing eBike market that in 2016 may have grown by as much as 70 percent, according to some industry estimates.

... and:
"It's helping you but it's not doing all of the work for you," said Chuck McFarland, Pacific Cycle's e-movement product manager. "There is no throttle. You can't just coast. The sensors and the system read how much power you're putting into the bike."

Hehe... Stay tuned for "ES Mods". :wink:
