The Electra Townie combines Scandinavian style with West Coast cool. It's your about town bike for when you go for coffee instead of hell for leather. That's not all!...Hook this up to an Xtracycle FreeRadical kit and you have a town bike that's also a load carrying everyday adventure bike!
The Electra Townie has a different approach to pedalling called 'feet forwards' which ticks 3 important boxes.
Size - this is a one size bike designed to fit virtually any young adult or grown-up! This is acheived by the ' feet-forwards' design - look at the picture above - see how much further forwards the pedals are than on a normal bike?...
Position - the feet forwards position means the ride is a heads-up, what's-going-on-around-me riding stance. This is a town bike so move on now if you are after a racing machine...
Safety - because of the feet forwards pedalling position you, the rider, have a shorter distance from saddle to floor without compromising the pedal reach. This means sure-footed flat feet on the ground stability when resting at junctions and traffic lights. This is especially important if you choose to hook your Townie up to an Xtracycle FreeRadical and carry cargo or passengers. This bike is all about stability on it's own or FreeRadicalized!
