As a general guide, the single-speed on the Firmstrong Urban Lady Beach Cruiser bike is roughly equivalent to the 7-10 gears range found on a 21-speed bike.  The single-speed of the Firmstrong beach cruiser bike is enough to give a little bit of resistance, enabling you to gain speed and tackle minor hills.  The Firmstrong single-speed bike with its coaster brake is straightforward and easy to use, and requires very little maintenance.

If you would like the option of more than 1 speed but still like the idea of the coaster brake, then the 3-speed Firmstrong Urban Lady Beach Cruiser Bike is the one for you!  Because it incorporates an Internal 3-speed, it has fewer wires to deal with than the 7-speed bike, yet the 3 gears allow for easier cycling up hills over the single-speed.

If you don’t like the idea of a coaster brake, then you should opt for the 7-speed Firmstrong Urban Lady Beach Cruiser Bike.  You get the same comfort benefits of a cruiser style bike but with the added benefit of this bike’s front and rear handbrakes and 7 gears.  Plus, it currently retails online at around the same price as the 3-speed bike – a real bargain!



See what customers who have bought either the single-speed, 3-speed or 7-speed Firmstrong Urban Lady Beach Cruiser Bike have to say about it:

A.C.:
“I bought the Single-speed Firmstrong Urban Lady Beach Cruiser Bike in mint green.  I’m thrilled with it and love the beautiful color!  I searched for ages trying to decide which be the best beach cruiser bike for me.  The reviews I found on this bike were very convincing and once I’d spoken to a Beachbike rep I was sold on this one.  The bike arrived well-packaged and in perfect condition.  I don’t know anything about assembling bikes but this was mostly pre-assembled and the few parts I did have to assemble was easy and took me around 35 minutes.  The bike works perfectly and is a dream to ride.  Don’t hesitate to buy this bike, it IS as good as it seems!”

A.L.:
“I ordered the 3-speed Firmstrong Urban Lady Beach Cruiser Bike for my wife for Xmas.  She loves it!  I was so impressed with it, that I ordered one for myself too.  We both love these bikes and have already cycled over 150 miles in just 1 month.”

V.T.:
“I purchased the 7-speed Firmstrong Urban Lady Beach Cruiser Bike for my partner.  She’s in her 50s and wanted a bike that was comfortable to ride and where you don’t have to lean forward to avoid strain on your shoulders and wrists.  My partner is thrilled with this bike and after riding it said that she couldn’t have asked for a better bike.  The bike came ¾ assembled already and took me about half an hour to finish it.  The bike works perfectly and the shifting is smooth, which I think you need if you’re gonna tackle hills or wind.  I highly recommend this 7-speed bike for urban riding in pure comfort and style.”
