    I'm 6'3" tall and 300lbs. This bike made me feel like a kid again! I have plenty of room, nice big comfortable seat and was impressed with the overall quality.Even though it's very comfortable and fun to ride you still get a great workout which is why i bought it. The syling of the Electra bikes is really what caught my eye.

    Comments:

    No strain on the hands, and with the right saddle, not so bad on the backside. I can't put both feet down flat at stops. Usually one foot flat and one foot on the crank.

    Comments:

    I just felt so so much safer as with my old bike I had fallen many times when coming to a stop. When I lowered the seat on my old bike I felt safer, but my legs did not extend fully so the legs became tired very fast. I am 72 this month.
