This page is provided for reference to historical product information.

A little bit retro and a whole lot cool, the Electra Townie® 8 takes casual riding to a new level of comfort, control and convenience.

  • Flat Foot Technology™ combines a slightly rearward riding position with a chainset mounted forward of the seatpost
  • Result is low center of gravity and full leg extension, which combine to increase comfort and pedaling torque compared to many comfort-category bikes
  • Also, low center of gravity lets riders sit on the bike with their feet flat on the ground, providing unsure riders stability during starts and stops
  • Shimano Nexus internal 8-speed rear hub provides smooth, intuitive shifting controlled by easy-to-use Shimano Revo twist-grip shifters
  • Adjustable suspension fork and shock-absorbing Townie saddle provide a bump-smoothing ride front and back
  • Adjustable seat post and handlebar stem let you dial in the fit for nothing but comfort (with so much adjustability, one size fits most people)
  • Total convenience: Platform pedals require no special shoes, and the full-length chainguard and aluminum fenders keep clothes free of dirt and oil
  • Semi-slick 26x1.9 tires provide a smooth and stable ride over a variety of riding surfaces
  • Linear-pull hand brakes provide controlled deceleration

After its 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.
