Electra Loft 7i Equipped Step-Over

Sep 2021 · Richard Peace

Super comfortable and practical town bike for relatively short trips, but disc brakes and lower gearing would make more sense

Highs
  • Wonderfully comfortable and safe-feeling ride

  • Low maintenance hub gears

  • Sleek looking for a fully-featured town bike

Lows
  • Gearing is too high for hilly areas

  • Rim rather than disc brakes

  • Fairly weighty
