I had the opportunity to view this bike at the huge INTERBIKE show in Vegas last Sept. Unfortunately the reps for Electra were total assholes and not only would they not let me take pictures (the bike was technically not on the market yet and I am sure they feared knock offs) but they also would not give me a catalog!?! I did manage to get a couple pix before they stopped me the seat is awesome, and there are custom grips too. If my memory serves me right the wheels also have a hibiscus pattern so when you ride through wet sand it leaves a print. My only complaint is that they went through all the trouble of designing and embossing a seat, grips, tires, even posted a carved Tiki to their site, yet they use the free clip art from House Industries for the graphics on the bike!
