HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR ELECTRA<br />

The only hard part about riding an <strong>Electra</strong> is choosing which one to get. They’re all easy to ride and they look amazing.<br />

So take your time to figure out which one is perfect for you. We have multiple collections with different models within<br />

each line. Here are a few things to consider that will help you while you peruse.<br />

PURPOSE Commuting? Burning calories? Joyriding? Find one that lives at the speed of you.<br />

STYLE As important as anything. It’s got to be love at first sight.<br />

ATTIRE There is no dress code, but if you’re biking in pants or a long skirt you might want a chainguard and fenders.<br />

COMFORT We pride ourselves on having some of the most comfy bikes around. Not to brag, but we were awarded two<br />

patents for our Flat Foot Technology ® that optimizes comfort and control. Even our more sporty bikes feel good, but some<br />

are more laid back than others.<br />

THINGS TO CARRY Laptop, groceries, beach towel? We’ve got racks, baskets and bags to help you out.<br />

TIRES The 24” and 26” are all-purpose and cushy, while the 700c are faster-rolling road tires. Also check out the balloon<br />

tires for even more shock absorption.<br />

GEARS You have a lot of options from the number of gears to the type of system (internal vs derailleur). Learn more<br />

on the GEARING OPTIONS page of the TECHNICAL section on electrabike.com.<br />

SIZING People come in all shapes and sizes. The world’s more fun that way. Whatever your measurements are, you’ll find<br />

an <strong>Electra</strong> with a perfect fit. With our patented Flat Foot Technology ® , the Amsterdam ® , Cruiser and Townie ® frame geometry<br />

adjusts to fit a wide range of sizes. Some Cruiser and Townie models are available in 24” and Tall sizes too. The relaxed<br />

touring geometry of the Ticino comes in two sizes for men and one for ladies. The Verse’s fitness geometry is offered in four<br />

sizes for men and two for the ladies. Kid’s come in 20” with Flat Foot Technology and 16” for the littlest ones.<br />

There are no rules. But if you keep these things in mind it will help you focus in on the bike that is tailor made for you.<br />

Work with your local authorized <strong>Electra</strong> dealer to determine which model is best for you.<br />

YOU’LL BE SEEING A LOT OF EACH OTHER.<br />
