What Is A Electric Beach Cruiser

Do you love to ride your beach cruiser along the shore but tired of struggling home after a long day in the water and sun? Electric beach cruisers let you ride in style while giving you an extra push on your ride around town.

What Is A Electric Beach Cruiser

Cruiser eBikes feature the same retro styling of a classic cruiser with curved frame tubes, big tires, and a wide, spring seat, but add an electric motor to provide assistance. They let you sit upright, look around, and take in the scene with a relaxed, comfortable posture.

Beach cruisers have a long history, originating in the 1930s when Schwinn starting building bikes to resemble European motorcycles with balloon tires, a headlight, and a faux gas tank.

In the 1970s, the beach cruiser experienced a resurgence in popularity throughout Southern California. People recycled old cruiser bikes and used them as inexpensive and practical transportation solution to go between town and beach. Today, the beach cruiser continues to be a nostalgic icon in coastal locales across America.

These days beach cruiser feature the latest technology in electric motors, giving you an extra power boost to help carry coolers and beach supplies.‍
