ELECTRA TOWNIE PATH 9D EQ STEP-THRU BIKE - 2022

The Townie Path 9D EQ delivers the comfort of the best-selling Townie in a more adventurous package. It's perfect for those looking to explore more and perhaps ride a little harder. Larger 27.5" tires tackle terrain with better traction and control, while hydraulic disc brakes allow you to stop on a dime. So get on and take the Path less traveled.   

It's Right For You If...
You want comfort and control but aren't afraid to kick it up a notch. With a 9-speed derailleur, powerful disc brakes and larger tires, you'll be ready to roll wherever the road takes you. While the Townie Path 9D EQ is more rugged, it's still comfy and easy to ride. Like they say, once a Townie, always a Townie. They say that, right?

The Tech You Get
Climb hills easily with a Shimano Alivio 9-speed derailleur and Acera Rapid Fire Plus shifter. Kenda 27.5" tires with K-Shield protection tackle terrain with better traction and control, while Tektro hydraulic disc brakes provide smooth and reliable braking. Equipped with fenders and Spanninga front and rear bright LED lights.

The Final Word
The Townie Path 9D EQ is for the rider looking for a bike that is more capable. Larger 27.5" tires roll faster and provide better traction, allowing you to tackle more terrain and transition from paved roads to gravel with ease. Built for the rigors of the road, or a ride down to the coffee shop.

FEATURES

• Comfort is key with a foot-forward pedal position, gel saddle and ergonomic grips.
• 9 speeds and hydraulic brakes provide smooth riding on a wider range of terrain.
• 27.5" puncture-resistant tires let you focus on the ride and avoid the dreaded flat.
• Fully equipped with color-matched fenders and Spanninga front and rear bright LED lights.
• For more versatility, add a rear bag or basket to pack all the necessities for an awesome adventure.

Shimano Rapid Fire Plus

• The Shimano Rapid Fire Plus Shifter precisely shifts through all gears with the push of a lever.

Flat Foot Technology

• Flat Foot Technology has been awarded not one, but two patents. Yeah, king of a big deal. You really need to ride and Electra to feel it, but the overall benefit is comfort and control. It provides an upright, relaxed seating position with proper leg extension that allows you to plan your feet flat on the ground whenever you want or need to.

Derailleur Gear System

• Derailleur or "D" refers to an external shifting mechanism. It consists of a chain, multiple precision sprockets and a derailleur to "derail" the chain from one sprocket to another. It allows for quick transitions and more gearing options. Just remember to pedal while shifting and you're good to go!

Equipped

• Equipped, or "EQ" as they say at Electra, simply means your ride comes with some sweet added benefits. Color-matched fenders keep you clean and dry while front and rear LED lights help you see and be seen.

Kenda Tires

• The larger 27.5 Kenda tires feature reflective sidewalls for better visibility and K-Shield protection to avoid the dreaded flat. A good tire is like a good shoe. It looks as good as it feels.

Mik Compatibility

• Our MIK compatible racks make it a piece of cake to secure any MIK accessory. Click it on . . . and you're off.
