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 brake is 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.

Comments about Electra Rat Rod 3i Bike:

This bike is comfortable and fun to ride around the roads and parks near our house. I bought this, a black and red baby trailer plus the Electra Betty for my wife on mother's day. What a hit!!!! We use them several times a week in nice weather and have now had some great family cruises together in the evenings...... Lots of great comments about the two coordinated red/black flames on the Ratrod and the pink/black flames on the Betty. Plus the wife loves the time we spend out and about on them. Used them tons when the power was out for two weeks after the hurricane that hit our area.
