Looking for a simple, inexpensive cruiser but not willing to sacrifice quality, and still want a 'boutique' name? How about the Electra Cruiser 1? It has the patented 'Flat Foot Technology' of an Electra that simply feels better than any other cruiser out there, along with high quality paint (in his or hers colours), white sidewall tires, and more.
With just one gear and an old-school coaster brake (just pedal backwards to stop) it's simple and virtually maintenance free, and it costs just $300.
Come down to the shop to take one out for a spin.
