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 Nexu twist-grip shifters
- Adjustable suspension fork and shock-absorbing Townie saddle supply 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 26x2.0 tires provide a smooth and stable ride over a variety of riding surfaces
- Linear-pull hand brakes provide controlled deceleration
- NOTE: Specs and images are subject to change based on component availability
