WOW, Cruiser eBikes are taking the country by storm.
This is the hottest trend since the boom in electric bikes started to take off, casual and comfortable riding for the whole family
There are Cruisers for pre-teens, teenagers, young adults as well as mature adults.
Why have they taken off?
Apart from looking cool, they are comfortable and fun to ride. There is a great choice of seats, seating position, the height of the seat, handlebar shapes, height of handlebars, simply more adjustments can be made to suit the riders’ preferred riding style and comfort. Cruisers also come with bigger tires that give more comfort and stability
Everyone’s body shape and limbs are slightly different, and Cruisers are just made for this, with so many models to choose from, as well as the ability to really customize the eBike to suit your particular requirements
Be it a wide comfortable seat with underseat springs, handlebars with just the correct reach and height, pedals in a comfortable position and many more combinations.
PLUS – they are fun to ride around on with the whole family enjoying the experience on their own Cruiser Electric Bike
What should I look out for when choosing a Cruiser
- First and foremost – comfort. This is what Cruiser eBikes are all about
- Don’t go crazy and overspend. Do your research and get the best value for money for the Cruiser that ticks all (or most) of the boxes and will give you the best enjoyment
- Keep the weight down. Traditionally Cruisers, especially the older non electric styles, were heavier than other bikes. And this can still be the case, so consider the weight, choose a lighter-weight frame (aluminum alloy) which will have a big bearing on the overall weight and ease of riding
- You are not looking for the fastest eBike or longest range, but you will need something that has reasonable power and speed
- Check out any additional features that you may not have considered, but will improve the overall experience.
