Electra say:
A modern remake of the relaxed ride made popular in traditional ‘40s and ‘50s bikes. The body is allowed to find a more natural position that combines performance with comfort and allows for better control.
Inspired by classic European hand built bicycles, this stylish new arrival answers the “What can I ride every day?”question. Named for an Italian -influence dare of Switzerland, Ticino’s vintage design aesthetic, craftsmanship and frame integrity were inspired by the durable touring bikes ridden throughout the region. It’s the classic-era diamond frame bike, fine -tuned for comfort no longer found in today’s twitchy frames. Stylistically, Ticino picks up where bike builders of the '40s and '50 s left off, but embodies Electra’s strict performance standards. Add period-piece components—retro- style hubs, cranksets, chainrings, tourist handlebars, brake levers, forks, pedals and rims —for a classic ride that’s as modern as modern gets . Fast- rolling 700c wheels complement a host of drivetrains, from a single-speed all the way up to a 20-speed. Upgrade, customize or accessorize your ride for all types of cross-city spins, office commutes or weekend wanderings.
Two bears borrowed from the flag of Berlin represent Electra’s founders, who hail from that city, while the blended rendering of the German flag and Swiss coat of arms symbolizes their mixed European heritage.
Constructed with a 6061 alloy butted frame and adorned with a mirror-polished 50/39T compact double, forged alloy crankset along with Shimano 2300 derailleurs and SL-4 40 Rapid fire shifters. The handcrafted, smooth-brazed, chromed stem and high-polished Electra Elite double-wall alloy rims are retro-chic, as are the putty and pearl white paint options.
