Bottom line
The Electra Cruiser 1 fulfils its purpose extremely well. This is not a road bike. This is not a gravel machine. It sure isn’t a mountain bike and for a lot of people in hilly areas, it isn’t even practical as a commuter. This is a cruiser and it’s one of the best there is. It’s a simple, single-speed bike with a relaxed riding style and relatively easy gear ratio. For a long, all-steel bike it’s light, especially in comparison to the competition. Owners said the power of the coaster brake was impressive, while the strength and durability of the frame were exceptional. In its most popular guise, the matt black Cruiser 1 features all-black components and fittings to create a stealthy and mean, low-key machine. Reliability was lauded, while maintenance was undeniably minimal. One rider even used the Cruiser 1 to casually bikepack long distances across the United States! A thoroughbred among cruisers, in a class that's littered with low-quality pretenders.Expert Reviews
