Vintage Cruisers FAQ

  • Where should I ride my vintage cruiser bike?

    Vintage cruiser bikes are great for scenic coastal paths, peaceful park trails or chill rides through the neighbourhood.

  • Can vintage cruiser bikes go on gravel?

    Vintage cruiser bikes are primarily designed for paved surfaces, and as such are not recommended for extended use on gravel paths. Check out our gravel bikes range for more suitable options.

  • Are vintage cruiser bikes good for long distance?

    Vintage cruiser bikes are typically designed for short to moderate-distance rides rather than long-distance cycling. Their upright riding position and relaxed geometry prioritise comfort over speed, making them ideal for leisurely rides and casual commuting rather than extended journeys.

  • How fast can a vintage cruiser bike go?

    Vintage cruiser bikes are not built for speed but rather for leisurely cruising and enjoying the scenery. Their relaxed geometry and single-speed or three-speed gear systems emphasise comfort and simplicity over high-speed performance. If you're looking for a vintage cruiser that can pick up a bit more speed, check out our electric cruiser bikes.
