I also love how Rob was more concerned about getting me the right bike than in making a sale. I was ready to buy the electric bike he had in the shop but he encouraged me to wait until more arrived later in the week. The Campus is the smaller of Schwinn's e-bikes, perfect for me (I'm 5'4"). I am still learning how long the battery lasts, but it seems to be 40-50 miles with moderate peddling on my part. The motor helps me go on longer rides than if I did it all on my own power. It helps to go up hills but will not carry me up without some work on my part. I get a lot of comments about how cool it looks. The woman who works at Varsity, I think her name is Ashante, helped me decide which bike to buy. She was really friendly and knowledgeable. I got the Schwinn Campus e-bike at Varsity, and I love it.
