I am 55 and trying to start an exercise program, and would like to start riding bikes. I'm short, so I'm looking for a 24" bicycle with 3 or more speeds and comfort. Do you carry anything like that?

Use e-bike at freezing temperature?

If the batteries are Lithium-iron- phospate (LiFePo4), they should be good. try

to start with a warm battery and pull it to charge at work. plug it back in and go..

I saw a snow scooter that as electric. look for it as an option.

The comfort bicycles sold at sears.com are available in one frame size. We carry the most common size that is likely to fit the most people.

Is there a particular bike that you are interested in? I can check with the manufacturer to determine the frame size we offer or the availability of alternative sizes.

I like sears and have products under there 5 year warrenty in house.It was so cheap to have them just come here and they come here 1 time a year just to adjust and clean not bad.I want or I am going to buy a electric bicycle and the way sears has treated me in the past I have to get it there.I t may be a little higher but hey they fix it and when I called about my tv they were here the very next day and I called at 10pm at night.The next time they were here in 2 days.I like them fixing here them you are not without for 10 days or more while they mail it to there place north of LA and fly it back.I always tell people what my experience is and so should they so we all know what there like and how they fix there problems with us the public and if you dont tell how lousy they are then the same lousy thing happens to all the other people.I really just need a assist of somekind put on my bike I have to and I want one to go faster up hill we me not killing myself.Well maybe I will sell one who knows but electric bikes are really nice.I quit driving 14 years ago and at 57 I think it is time to get electric bike to go up hill to the favoite fishing hole.Yes one way or another my bike shall go faster and or I shall by the one with the biggest battery and warrentee . Well good luck to one and all and seard has done well with me.I bought a new tv on line and from someone else and I had sears insure it for 5 years in house.I have my convection -micro-broiler and that is same 5 years.I figure if I spend this muck I want it to last and they musy fix anything on these in house plus it is very cheap up grade.Like 5 dollars more a year so check that out.The cost was great and they insure the first year free cause they did not want them working on it first haha.So yes sear is kool and on we go good day you and me OR YOU AND I.

it will work fine but the battery will be affected by the temp. your distance of travel will be shortened greatly. multiple batts. and recharge at work. heat creates energy cold robs energy.

For my year-around bicycle commute, I need an e-bike which works down to -20 degree Celsius. Do the Sears "R Marin R12 silver electric bicycle" or "R Martin LX1 black electric bicycle" 36V 10Ah Li batteries work at freezing temperatures?

Nice catch...surprised people pay that much attention to these things.

You are correct. The wheel size of the Cadillac bicycles are a standard 26". However, the frame size varies. Finding the correct frame size is crucial when selecting a road bike. Due to the extended miles and length of time, you want a frame size that properly fits. The measurements listed refer to the size of the seat tube. They are measuring the distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post. This is a common measurement found on road bikes.

Thanks for pointing out the error in our product descriptions. This will need to be corrected.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it would appear Cadillac bike sizes on sears.com are listed incorrectly. Cadillac bikes are listed in sizes such as 18.5 inches 16.5, and 21 inches. Sears.com claims these are the size of the wheels which is highly ulikely since it would be very difficult finding replacement tubes and tires for wheel sizes that no other bike company uses. Furthurmore, why would a men's roadbike come in a wheel size smaller than a boy's bmx bike? The measurment is most likely the length of the bike frame's top tube. Better fix this before you break a midget's heart.

Great topic. Although a little cold to ride now in Chicago... E-Bikes come in a wide range of prices. $299 - $2500+ You can find a pretty good selection on Sears.com. I'll tell you there are many more coming. Stay tuned. This is a product where you truley get what you pay for. $299 is more like a toy and not a serious means of transportation. Expect to spend $1500 +/- to get a quality piece of transportation. Types of batteries are one of the biggest variances. Before purchasing be sure to understand the following: how far can I go on a single charge, how fast can I go, how long to recharge the battery, and how heavy is the bike? I'm working on a generic buying guide to post. Keep your eyes open.

The Chicago Tribune reports that 20M electric bike sales are expected in China by year end where e-bikes are increasingly threatening traditional bicycles. The e-bikes are prized for their convenience and relatively low price point (approx. $219 to $366). What do you think? Would you buy or have you bought an electric bike? Why? Would it complement or replace other means of transportation for you?
