- 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.
*Works great my **Latest.Bike** I have a bad knee so I still get exercise but the bike assists me. I am a big guy so I didn’t think it would go as fast but it works great.*
I pick mine up tomorrow, and eight years later and this is still the best review I've come across for the Townie. Thanks for sharing
About 11 years after this video was made I bought a Townie 7D to return to riding and absolutely love it. I have since purchased a Trek Verve 2 XL but after riding it for awhile I find myself returning to the Townie, partly because its more comfortable for an old guy, and partly because it's more rugged. I am somewhat heavy and I have had problems with parts on the Trek breaking including the suspension seat post, the seat and spokes on the rear wheel. The latter issue forced me to replace the original rear wheel with a fully loaded touring wheel. The Townie has had only one part brake, the rear axle after riding off a serious drop 2-3 in as I recall, snapped it. I was able to ride home but it took a lot more effort. I have shown a little more care and have had no more issues. I'm really enjoying my Townie.
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
Get mine in a couple days can't wait! Test drove it and fell in love with it instantly. Very comfortable.
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. :)
Love mine bruh👍🇺🇸
My wife and I bought a pair for neighborhood cruising, and easily the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden..I'm 6'3 and I have the large frame size option.It's like riding a recliner!
I own the 9 speed and I love it, I bought it for long scenic rides in comfort
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.
I have an Electra Townie, but it is the 7 speed internally geared Nexus rear hub model. I have never owned a derailleur type bike that wasn't always messing up. Also the internally geared hub can be shifter at a stop.
This is great! Just the riding position I’m looking for!!
Just put a deposit down on an Electra Townie 7D EQ; the bike should be in the shop in about 6 weeks. I am looking forward to riding it and hope to be able to commute to work on it.
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.
Hi Great review. Can you share the wheel size of your bike 24 or 26 inch and the seat height of the bike. I have not been able to find the lowest seat height on any of the company specs. Thanks!
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
These are wonderful bikes. But, many of the videos about Townies are just talking heads. No offense intended guys but I didn't click in to see you or hear your opinions. I have my own I very comfortable with. Want to keep me interested? RIDE THE BIKE. Don't just run your mouth, ride the bike. Thanks.
i have a 2018 21spd townie myself and it's amazing to ride
I own one, same color everything. I LOVE THIS BIKE! Best I have ever owned. Riding position kills the Trek. 5 *****
Trek owns Electra.
Just bought a Townie 7d this week...slate blue my "Baby Blue"...
Help need to know What bike frame for my height. I'm 5"9 woman looking for a townie. Please advise Thanks
Anytime you can sit on the seat and have your feet flat on the ground is usually the general rule. 5'9" I would think a 24" if you tried a 26" it might be too much. What ever you feel comfortable with but my opinion, more is not always better, unnecessary added weight for you, especially if you're just 'bromin' the suburbs to stay active. If you're interested in shredding the trails, I would suggest something with a reinforced frame and shocks. Happy riding! 🙂
Tubed tires or tubeless?
Sick of big bike companies who don't even understand what they are selling
Is the Townie OK for plus 300 lbs :( ?
just got a elecrta its thje best
now if they only had a shorter crank option they would have a winner
buy a shorter crank.
they don't offer that option.......
i have the same bike but mine is an 8 speed
Elon Musk is that you???
but, damn I looked at one at my local bike shop $2600 bucks. that leaves out the common person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Buy a 7d it's only 535 dollars united states dollars
This is just awful! I wish I could unsee it. Cluless x 2.
