For your reference, this page contains historical product information.

Classic retro styling, complete with laid-back geometry, flames, easy shifting and wide handlebars, make this ride prime for cool cruisin'.

  • Generous fenders and full-length chainguard keeps road dampness to the tires and grease off your clothing
  • Simple three-speed shifting is built into the hub—no complicated gear combinations, just twist the grip shifter and the bike does the rest
  • Coaster brakes are responsive and intuitively easy to operate—just back-pedal and coast to a stop
  • Platform pedals do not require special shoes
  • Wide tires with red rims and sweeping handlebar have you cruising with the smooth ride of a vintage Caddy done up hotrod style
  • Heavy-duty steel frame flexes vertically, dampening road shock flowing up the bike
  • Metal coil springs under the generously sized saddle dampen whatever shock the frame doesn't absorb
  • Classic fork struts and flame accents on the frame, saddle, chainguard and hand grips complete the look

Fitting an Electra bike is easy. Start by setting the saddle to its lowest position and then stand over it with both feet flat on the ground. Next, simply raise the saddle until it rests in the crotch. Tighten it in place, and that's it— you're done! After an initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.

Imported.
