History of Electra Bicycles

Some ELECTRA Bicycle & E-bike PDF Manuals above the page.

 

The Electra bicycle company was founded in 1993 thanks to Ben Benziger and Geano Erfort. The brand is headquartered in Vista, USA.

 

Initially, the future owners of the largest city bike brand wanted to work in the field of creating alpine skis, snowboards and similar products.

 

As it turned out, this market was already occupied by large companies, with which it would be pointless to compete.

 

Ben once drew attention to the fact that American cyclists do not know how to enjoy ordinary bike riding, but perceive it only as a sport.

 

It was then that Benziger had the idea to present comfortable city bicycles to cyclists. They would not be designed for competition or high speed development.

 

They were supposed to be a comfortable means of transportation on city streets and parks.

 

The main production of Electra bicycles was located in Taiwan. At first, sports shops didn't take city bikes seriously because everyone was crazy about mountain bikes.

 

Over time, many began to realize that city bikes are much better and more suitable for regular walks or trips to the store.

After a while, sporting goods stores began to buy city bikes with a margin.

 

Electra bicycles were created primarily for comfortable city riding.

 

It is not enough to simply replace the components to make the bike more comfortable for the rider. The minimum required geometry change is great. The leading developers of the company did just that.

 

Today, the brand is armed with the patented FLAT FOOT technology. What is its uniqueness?

 

The main goal of this technology is to change the position of the cyclist in such a way that he feels comfortable when traveling on a flat road at a low speed.

 

The main difference between bikes with FLAT FOOT technology is that the bottom bracket is not located directly under the seat tube of the frame, but slightly in front.

 

The bend of the lower frame tube starts from the carriage. At the same time, the geometry of even ordinary road bikes is not greatly disturbed.

 

Today Electra bikes are among the most comfortable and popular of any city bike. The range of the brand includes both classic cruisers and electric bikes.

 

Anyone who requires comfort from city driving will be able to choose a suitable model from Electra.
