We also added testing notes for the Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser, a bike deputy test editor Tara Seplavy rode and evaluated in the last year. We haven’t tested the other bikes but carefully chose them with Seplavy’s help based on specs and and her context from ride testing the other models. Freelance writer Ashley M. Biggers rode her trusty schwinn dealers cruiser bike to campus during her graduate studies at Arizona State University.
Ultimately, it’s up to the individual to determine which brand and style of beach cruiser bike is best suited for their needs and preferences. Cruiser bikes aren’t a popular choice for long distances, like on bikepacking trips. However, for shorter trips around town, like commuting to work, they can fit the bill. With a seven-speed drivetrain, the Schwinn Huron Adult Beach Cruiser Bike is ready to conquer any hills on your urban commute or to accelerate around traffic. Twist shifters help gear changes easy to make on the fly, while front and rear linear-pull brakes offer confident stopping power. The steel-framed cruiser provides durability and stability—it’s suggested for riders up to 6 feet, 2 inches tall.
The EVRYjourney borrows the flat foot stopping (no tip toes!) idea from Electra bikes, so that you can stop your bike with confidence that you’re not going to fall over! The design requires the pedals to be placed farther forward than on a standard bike, which results in the rider pushing slightly forward rather than straight down on the pedals. The salt air is no match for the Coast’s rustproof components, which include stainless-steel spokes, an aluminum frame and fork, and a maintenance-free Gates Carbon Drive belt.
5-speed versatility, gutsy balloon tires and the reliability of the world- famous Schwinn cantilever frame.Forged steel front fork, heavy duty saddle and the “look” of a classic. Resident e-bike expert Seplavy rode the Cafe Cruiser and found it plenty powerful to climb short hills. But, like several wide-tire bikes, it has some handling issues while taking turns. It gives riders a range of about 30 to 50 miles per charge, which is more than plenty for beach rides and casual jaunts. For riding the length of a boardwalk or ambling along Main Street, one gear is all you need—and it frees up a hand to hold a soft-serve twist. Singlespeed bikes are cheaper, cut weight, and are, overall, easy to use.
If it doesn’t fit, you don’t like it, any reason, you can send it back and we’ll take it back no questions asked. Because our goal here at Sixthreezero is to make sure everybody loves their bike.
