Here's a look at the Electra Townie Bicycle. This street bike features a lower seat and higher handlebars that deliver a more ergonomic, semi-recumbent style of bicycle riding. Also shown is the Electra Straight 8 model which is a black eight ball style.

I bought one in July this year & the bike is a good design & if I had to rate it out of Ten I'd give it an 8. The pedals are small cheapish plastic, the handle grips look nice & classy however are hard & not very comfortable, I also feel more comfortable with the handle bars a little higher when I ride, although the gooseneck can be loosened & pulled higher, Electra have only allowed about 1/2 inch to raise, after that.. There is 'Play' in the gooseneck/front frame. The bike cost me $700 Aus. A new Gooseneck has cost me $45, sponge grips $15 & am yet to change pedals. There you go :)

hi thewe, marvelows! invention store what do you think.3. 11

I own one, same color everything. I LOVE THIS BIKE! Best I have ever owned. Riding position kills the Trek. 5 ***

No one gives a fuck if your bald ass owns a bike

Get mine in a couple days can't wait! Test drove it and fell in love with it instantly. Very comfortable.

I do not own an Electra Townie, but I test drove one in Florida, and it was extremely comfortable unlike any other bike I have road, and I am an experienced cyclist. I am not ready to give up the road bike yet, but I can see this as a comfortable option as I get older, as it takes pressure off the back, wrists and neck.

Just bought a Townie 7d this week...slate blue my "Baby Blue"...

I have an Electra Townie 8i Man's Bicycle with the largest frame I could find. I am 6'6" and 340 plus. This bike has worked out great for me.

buddy of mine owns a bike shop and I asked about the weight issue, he said they've sold to even heavier and never had an issue... it's not like you're going to be jumping or going off road on it... ended up buying one for my wife last week after several years of her wanting one

Is the Townie OK for plus 300 lbs :( ?

just got a elecrta its thje best

i have the same bike but mine is an 8 speed

This is just awful! I wish I could unsee it. Cluless x 2.

Sick of big bike companies who don't even understand what they are selling

What a brain dead review a guy selling a bike who has not a clue and 20 century man who thinks a bike is a primitive tool

i have the townie 21d, and went from not riding a bike since i was around 15 to riding for hours on first ride! loving it

Nice review. At 51, too, found myself needing a different bike geometry than what my mountain bike has. I found an Electra Townie 3 and it seems to be just the ticket. My arms and back no longer ache and I can actually see the sights, not just the road below me. :)

What an Idiot.!!
