Bottom line
The Nel Lusso is an attractive bike that employs classic styling and which is best used in areas without hills. It is available in a 24” size for girls and shorter adults, as well as a 26” size for taller adults. One expert noted that the coaster brake may slow this heavy bike but won’t always stop it. This is a serious safety consideration. Many buyers found it easy to put together, but just as many struggled mightily with assembly. Quality seems to be hit and miss. For those that received a fully functional bike and enjoyed cruising on flat ground, the Nel Lusso pleased.Expert Reviews
