Red Electric Breeze

Gizzo Bike Works shares the joy of electric cycling by renting electric bikes. We further our recycling mission by finding lovely old Schwinn 3 speeds to convert. Each bike is overhauled and adjusted before the 24 volt battery pack and 250 watt hub motor are installed.

This regal red beauty is a 1975 Breeze that began life on Nantucket.

This Schwinn Breeze is in nice shape for a 40 year old bike.

Sturme Archer 3 peed hubs made before the 1990s have their date stamped in the hub.

The front fender cleaned up well, but doubts remain that the rear fender will come out as shiny. We use a combination of Never Dull and 0000 steel wool on chrome.
