Subdued simplicity begets rocking good times. The Electra Coaster 1 bike is all about easy, breezy fun.

Single-speed transmission is simplicity itself, so forget about shifting and just get on, ride and enjoy a day coasting down the boardwalk
Innovative geometry places pedals fore of the seatpost, which creates a low center of gravity and positions rider in an upright, balanced position
Result is a comfortable riding position, full leg extension for maximum power, and, typically, an ability to reach the ground with both feet
Classically styled frame conjures up a bygone era of American cycling; black color scheme is as cool as it is subtle
Integrated coaster brake is both effective and intuitively simple to use—just pedal in reverse, like you did as a child on your first bike
26-inch wheels are inherently stable through turns at slow speeds
Platform pedals accept just about any pair of shoes or sandals; full-length chainguard keeps pant legs free of oil and entanglement
Features a comfortable, wide saddle with elastomer springs
One size fits most

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.

Comments about Electra Coaster 1 Bike - Men's:

I have a full suspension mountain bike, but at 60 being bent over and pushing a heavy bike was more than I wanted. I ordered the Electra Cruiser 1 nervously, sight unseen over the internet. Concerns unfounded! Electra makes a great bike! It's not fast, as you might imagine being a single speed, but it's super east to pedal. It cost me a minute or two travel time over my mountain bike, but the comfort factor is worth it.

This looks like a heavy bike. It's not! All the components seem high quality. The bike rolls and handles great. I love the retro look and feel without the weight penalty of the old cruiser bikes.

If you want a fun, stable, easy to ride bike, buy this one.

Comments about Electra Coaster 1 Bike - Men's:

I am a teacher and I use this bike to commute 2 miles each way to work. This is a very comfortable and well-made bike. All components are of high quality. It looks even better than it does in the website photos. I park this bike in my classroom and my high school students love the way it looks.

My only complaint is that the bike is too slow because of the low gear ratio. I can comfortably cruise at 10mph on this bike. My old beach cruiser had a higher gear ratio and I could cruise at about 14 mph.
