SWAGTRON UrbanCruise

What the SWAGTRON UrbanCruise is built for

The SWAGTRON UrbanCruise is a commuter e-bike, built for daily rides to work, errands and city streets.

It has a 750 W (1,000 W peak) motor and a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h).

It carries a stated range of up to 60 miles (97 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

The SWAGTRON UrbanCruise has full suspension.

In the United States the SWAGTRON UrbanCruise sells for $1,300, close to the median of $1,499 across 230 commuter e-bikes with a US price.

Where the SWAGTRON UrbanCruise may be ridden

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 750 W motor is above the 250 W limit and its 28 mph (45 km/h) top speed is above the 25 km/h at which assistance must stop. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

SWAGTRON UrbanCruise safety certification

The brand states that the SWAGTRON UrbanCruise is certified to UL 2849.

UL 2849 is the US safety standard for the whole electrical system of an e-bike: battery, charger, motor and controller tested together.

New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849, with batteries certified to UL 2271, to be sold or rented there; California requires e-bike batteries to meet UL 2849 or EN 15194 from 2026.
