Beach cruisers have become one of the most
popular bike styles for recreational riding. The new year has seen the
announcement of beach
cruisers that have the precise features you need to ride in comfort at
price points to match. Find out more about the latest electric
beach cruisers for sale and how
to get a bike that will support the way you prefer to ride and keep you
pedaling throughout 2021 and beyond.
Ergonomic
Frames To Ride In Comfort
One of the best features of beach cruisers
is that these bikes are designed to be ridden in an upright position. The frame
geometry of cruiser bikes and the positioning of the seat, handlebars and
pedals are all important for ensuring the highest level of comfort on rides
that cover any distance.
Depending on your mobility needs, you may
prefer to get a cruiser designed with a step-through frame. The top tube on
these bikes is often lower than other models to allow for effortless mounting.
Many riders also appreciate frame sizes and pedal positions that make it
possible to fully extend your legs as you ride and rest your feet flat on the
ground while stopped.
Multiple
Speeds for Elevation Changes
If you frequently ride on hilly terrain
carrying heavy cargo, you may want to look for cruisers that have three, seven
or 21 speed derailleurs. Bikes that have more chain rings and cassette cogs
allow riders to dial in the most efficient pedaling cadence.
Cruiser bikes with more speeds are often
more expensive than single-speed models. Budget-oriented buyers who want
multiple gears should take a closer look at three- and seven-speed bikes. Ride
further faster on a beach cruiser equipped with a 250-watt hour or 500W battery
and an electric motor.
Ride
Your Way With Optional Features
Many of the latest releases are accessories for
cruiser bikes. Choose from a large selection of baskets, panniers and other
cargo solutions. Whether you ride for fun or transportation, the right cargo
accessories will keep your personal items safe. Handlebar headlights, turn
signal lights and wheel lights can improve your ability to see the road ahead
in low-light conditions and increase your visibility to drivers, riders or
pedestrians on the road.
The latest bike computers feature
innovative performance-tracking and navigation features. Many systems can be
connected to sensors that you either wear on your body or mount to your bike.
Depending on how you ride, you may prefer to invest in an all-in-one system or just
use a mount to maintain access to your smartphone if you plan to use cycling
applications or need to stay connected.
When you are shopping for a beach cruiser
bike, look for a model with a frame sized to fit your height and weight. Riders
who stick to relatively flat surfaces may be able to save money by seeking out
a single speed model. You may prefer a multi-speed model if your rides have
hills. Accessories for carrying cargo or options for seats, wheels, lights and
other features make it easy to customize any cruiser.
