Anyone know of any light weight stubby fenders to fit an Electra Coaster (26" tires)? I found some black plastic ones online but not sure how durable they would be.

My wife's been wanting to replace her old Huffy mountain bike for a while and we finally found a replacement! She found this Electra Betty 3i at a local REI for a great price. We are now a (2) Electra family (I have a Coaster 3i)! She get's tons of looks and comments on the black/pink/white...

Anyone have an Electra Coaster that they have added Fenders to? My wife just got a Betty and I am thinking about now adding Fenders to mine to spiff it up a bit. Just not sure how it will look. My Coaster is metallic gray (or silver - but not bright silver) with black handlebars. Thinking...

Anyone have experience transporting an Electra Coaster on a Saris Bones 2 (or 3) bike carrier? I just got my Saris and noticed that the tube frame of my Electra doesnt appear to be a typical single tube, but 3, which makes it tough to strap down. I got the straps secured but it's not a perfect...

Great look'n DIY lights. This is giving me some ideas.

Are there any good LED-based retro looking headlights for cruisers? I am looking for the retro look but with good, bright LED lighting.

Just ordered a Pro-Tec Ace bike helmet. It's the multi-sport style instead of the traditional road bike helmet. Thought it better matches the Cruiser bike style.

Looking to buy a helmet for my cruiser but not a fan of the traditional road bike helmets. I have been looking at NutCase Helmets, Bell Faction, Airius, etc. Any suggestions? Not looking to spend more than $50. Thanks!!

Very cool. I'll definitely let you know if I need any help once I get a chance to start tinkering.

VERY COOL

Thanks for the links. I will see what I can find. Nirve has a couple of slick looking seats that I have seen so far. Yep, McKinney (Stonebridge Ranch area). You?

Where's a good place to get grips? I'm having trouble finding ones that are short/long to accommodate the Nexus gear shift. This is the stock seat (no springs) but looking to change that. Do the springs actually make for a better ride or are they merely cosmetic? Can I use any brand seat or...

Yeah I want to do some customization, but not sure where to start. Any suggestions? What are the good websites for accessories and such? Are their any frame bags that will fit the Coaster bike? Looking for something to hold keys, wallet, etc.

Update...I picked up the Electra Coaster 3i today on the way home from work. Pics posted in the Gallery area of the forum.

Just picked her up on the way home from work...hooked up the kid carrier...took the setup for a spin. So far so good...great smooth ridin' bike. Now I can't wait to add fenders, new grips and anything else to make it more custom! Pics below...
