This bike has an internal Shimano Nexus 3-speed, fenders, luggage rack, enclosed chain. I had it customized to add the back wheel panels, painted to match the bike by Autocraft here in Eugene. The luggage rack was also painted to match. Hand bell on the handle bar, and handlebar tassles.
Electra is well known for the “Flat Foot Technology,” a design puts the saddle and cranks in such a position so that “when the rider is sitting on the saddle, his or her feet can still stand flat on the ground.” The Shimano Nexus twist shifter is smooth.
Works great on all the bike paths here in Eugene. I don't consider it a "hill" bike though.
