This Electra Townie step-through bike combines comfortable forward pedaling position and 24 in. wheels for small riders heading out for fun rides.
- Frame geometry places bottom bracket and pedals well ahead of the seatpost, resulting in leg movement many people prefer over standard designs
- Geometry places rider upright for comfortable, heads-up positioning; aft positioning allows a rider to place both feet on the ground at a stop
- Step-through frame makes mounting and dismounting saddle quick and easy, and reduces rider's fear of sudden, awkward stops
- With 21 speeds, the Townie is set to tackle hills and charge the flats; features Shimano Tourney TX rear derailleur and replaceable derailleur hanger
- Shimano twist-shifters are intuitively easy to use
- 24 in. tires fit small riders and smooth out the bumps
- Hand-operated linear-pull brakes control both wheels, providing smooth, responsive deceleration
- Townie saddle features shock-absorbing elastomers for all-day riding comfort
- Lightweight aluminum frame provides vertical stiffness for prompt acceleration and power in climbs; it's also easily lifted for storage and transport
- Convenient platform pedals accept most casual shoes
Fitting an Electra bike is easy. Start by setting the saddle to its lowest position and then stand over it with both feet flat on the ground. Next, simply raise the saddle until it rests in the crotch. Tighten it in place, and that's it— you're done! After an initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.
