The Electra Townie 7D bike uses what is termed flat FOOT TECHNOLOGY. The crank pedal is no longer below the seat but placed about 9 inches forward (You can see it in the pic). This allows the rider to put their feet flat on the ground, yet when pedaling the rider is able to stretch their leg completely out. This is a real advantage any time you stop on a bike and need to put your feet down. It is also a more comfortable position for pedaling. Other bike companies can not use this feature as Townie has a patent now on it.
The Townie is one of the few Cruisers made that is lightweight aluminum, as most are heavy steel. The lightness of aluminum makes the Townie bike:
1. Extremely easy to pedal
2. Extremely easy to steer and handle as the lightness of the bike makes it very nimble and responsive.
3. Stops very quickly due to its lightweight
4. Will not rust as aluminum does not rust as steel does.
Other companies do not make aluminum cruisers due to the high cost of aluminum and the specialized skill in welding and shaping the frames.
This is a very rare top-of-the-line step-through Electra Townie 7d cruiser with the following options.
1. $169 Townie fenders
2. $109 Townie front basket that has supports to the frame. It does not rattle when riding and can take a heavy payload. It is also vinyl-plated so it will not rust.
3. $20 Electra Townie bell
The Electra Townie features 7 speeds. The bike has a mega low 1st gear(Super low gear) to conquer any hill and a high 7th gear for effortless pedaling on the flats. The bike has a quality Shimano Tourney derailleur that engages the chain precisely, preventing chain wear and noise. With a quality Shimano Derailleur, you will not need to have constant $79 tune-ups.
The Electra Townie features a Shimano Revoshift shifter. These are the safest shifters as they allow you to shift gears without ever taking your fingers off the handgrips. The Shimano Revoshift twist shifter also has a wider gripping surface and an internal gear that provides for extremely easy shifting. If you have any mobility issues, you will appreciate the ease of shifting.
The Electra Townie 7-speed also has fully adjustable handlebars that can custom-fit the bike to the rider's size or riding preference. The handlebar stem is also adjustable, allowing for another 5 inches of travel. It is the ideal bike to ride sitting upright.
The seat has a triple layer of foam and is super wide for a very comfortable ride. It is supported on two large rubber balls for the ultimate cushioning. It is extra wide, and it is like sitting on a comfy La-Z-Boy chair!
The Electra Townie 7D comfort is a true step-through with a very low bar. The step-through makes mounting and dismounting the bike extremely easy. When stopping on the bike the rider only has to step forward.
The Townie Comfort bike has a 17-inch lightweight aluminum frame. with a very long seat post to accommodate a shorter or taller rider. The super-light aluminum frame makes the bike handle incredibly well and also super easy to pedal. If you transport your bike, you will appreciate the lightweight for loading and unloading. Very few Comfort Cruisers have an aluminum frame.
The tires are 26-inch on lightweight DOUBLE-WALLED aluminum rims for lightness. DOUBLE-WALLED aluminum rims are much lighter than regular aluminum rims, but also much stronger. The bike also features stainless steel spokes. Stainless steel spokes are more expensive but they provide the following:
1. They are much stronger than regular steel spokes and often will prevent the wheel from bending if a curb or object is hit.
2.. Stainless steel spokes will never rust. When regular steel spokes rust, the corrosion is at the nipple, and when a wheel needs to be trued often the rusty spoke will break, resulting in a costly repair
3. The wheels will always sparkle as they will be rust-free.
The light aluminum wheels make pedaling very easy.
The tires are 26-inch balloon-style tires, which provide for a very comfortable ride. They have a very smooth tread that allows for low rolling resistance and a quiet ride.
The Townie Comfort bike features ALUMINUM linear-pull V-brakes. They provide superior stopping in wet or dry conditions.
The Electra Townie 7d Comfort bike is also longer than a traditional bike or cruiser. The longer wheelbase results in an incredibly smooth ride with the longer wheelbase. The bike is also more stable when cruising.
The Townie Comfort 7d bike is the ultimate cruiser and will provide a lifetime of enjoyment.
The bike has never been stored outside and has always been in a garage. It has only been ridden a few times and is still as new.
Townie Electra bikes are investments that will continue to hold their value.
You are welcome to come and take the bike for a ride to experience the comfort and convenience of Flat Foot Technology. Riding sitting upright is also super comfortable.
