Electra Townie 3i Bike

REI

Designed for stability, ease of use and laid-back style, the Electra Townie® 3 is a great bike for the novice rider looking for a fun cruiser.

  • 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 3-speed rear hub provides smooth, intuitive shifting; great for light riding around town and the RV park or along the promenade
  • Ergonomic, shock-absorbing Townie saddle softens the affect of bumps in the road
  • 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 keeps dirt and oil off the legs of your pedal pushers
  • Semi-slick 26x1.9 tires provide a smooth and stable ride over a variety of riding surfaces
  • Front linear-pull hand brakes provide controlled deceleration

REI (2009)

Designed for stability, ease of use and laid-back style, the Electra Townie 3i is great for both the novice and experienced rider looking for a fun cruiser bike.

  • Lightweight aluminum frame provides vertical stiffness for prompt acceleration and uphill power; it's also easily lifted for storage and transport
  • Shimano Nexus internal rear hub provides 3 smooth-shifting speeds and is remarkably maintenance free compared to conventional cassette systems
  • Shimano Revo twist-shifters are intuitively easy to use
  • Hand-operated linear-pull brake controls front wheel while rear coaster brake offers intuitive deceleration with simple backpedaling
  • Townie saddle features shock-absorbing elastomers for all-day riding comfort
  • Convenient platform pedals accept most casual shoes while the full-length chainguard keeps dirt and oil off your legs
  • Semi-slick 26x2.0 tires provide a smooth and stable ride over a variety of riding surfaces
  • Specs are subject to change

Great Bike and well designed.

Bought this bike for my wife since she gripes about her the comfort of my mountain bikes. This bike was the ticket for her and for the price I couldn't have asked for a better bike. I would recommend this bike for those that want to get out but don't want to go all out and for someone that finds it difficult and uncomfortable to ride a road or mountain bike.

Great Bike
