Sassy simplicity creates swinging sweet times. The women's Electra Coaster 1 bike is all about easy, breezy fun.
- Single-speed transmission is simplicity itself, so forget about shifting and just get on, pedal and enjoy the air caressing your face
- Step-through frame makes mounting and dismounting saddle quick and easy and reduces fear of sudden stops
- 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 and full-wrap fenders conjure up a bygone era of American cycling; two-tone color theme is as pretty as it is fun
- 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 flip flops; 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.
