Just looking at this bike - I think it is a new Schwinn model - looks like it has full suspension. Wondering what battery type - Cannot seem to link to any useful data - anybody seen / ridden /tested.

I can't find any useful info on it either !!

My guess: slowpokey 250w geared hub motor, 15-20ah battery, and expensive.
 
2005-6 CTC 36V-200W , no parts . Chinese , 200 "brands" , expect this is build from the failures . It would be difficult to duplicate the mistakes , Battery voltage thru a low amp switch, all fail . Welding wasn't in a jig . Squashed triangle to fit narrower hub's axle , Plates angle at axle nuts , flat was a spring trap nightmare in the dark . Hub slips . Rear spring..lol . Wobble front fork , scapped quik change , went to solid rear axle and 2 sets of nuts...but its still soft elastro after 5 years . I drive a modified one most days , buy more parts if your selling . Yep they' re junk , no legal selection here . They're bright silver , a 50's look...fit right in sitting beside a DC-3 cargo.
 
Update : I have located the CTC owners manual . Brand ( China generic ) : Strong GT-S210 , 36V-SLA 12AH , Maximum power output : 500W , Mominal PO : 200W , Maximum RPM : 230 , top speed 28KPH .

Spent some time tracking brand a year ago . Its a useful frame design as the rear triangle can be traded out for a narrower hub , match mounting pin bolt to its own triangle , they vary . Original hub width is 176mm inside ( see above post ) .

Stock triangle BB tube frame is 182mm ( cheap swaps are 168mm ) , so you will need a longer peddle axle to clear the battery down tube framing . Stock axle measured on outside cranks is 173mm , a substitute axle from a kiddy Minimoto Hybrid fits if you use the stock crank . Its 185mm , both are measured with peddles on , a challenge to locate both exact axle sizes in the secret parts stash .

A crank upgrade to larger sprockets needs the longer axle or bolt one to the stock crank . 56T will clear , but a an old 10 speed T56 won't fit due to striaght peddle arms , hits the side frame .

Battery boxes still hold 28 lbs after 5 years , good plastic and anchor glue ( scarey 4 fasteners ) .

Dual wall rims 30mm deep , 29mm wide outside . 2mm + a bit more spokes , guess its 2.2mm .

Stem fits 1.125" forks ,good pitch . Frame size is large , usual CTC stock .
