- Simple 3-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 white walls and sweeping handlebar have you cruising with the smooth ride and classic elegance of a vintage Cadillac
- Heavy-duty steel frame flexes vertically, dampening road shock flowing up the bike
