Coastal Cruiser Company Description
Coastal Cruiser brings a West Coast spin to practical fun, aiming squarely at riders who want comfort, power, and a sunny vibe in one package. And the pitch lands. The brand’s vintage cues meet modern parts, with Coastal Cruiser Electric Bikes serving beach towns, boardwalks, and city routes at prices that feel fair. Founded in 2016 in San Clemente California and now based around a San Diego warehouse, the team leans into approachable specs, simple controls, and that surf-shop spirit fans remember.
Coastal Cruiser e-bikes: the laid-back formula that moves
Prices sit from 1,299 to 2,199 dollars, and variety runs deep. A rider can pick a fat tire beach cruiser, a compact folder, or a moto-style e-bike that channels classic mini-moto swagger. Power comes from a proven 750W Bafang motor tied to a punchy 52V battery, tuned for boardwalk spins and hill towns alike.
- Class 2 throttle to 20 mph and Class 3 28 mph pedal assist
- Real-world range often 30 to 50 miles, touring pace stretches more
- Hydraulic control and wide rubber for relaxed stability
Ripper Pro: the headline act in moto trim
The Ripper Pro takes the spotlight with a dual-pack option up to 42 Ah, a stout frame, and 80 Nm punch. And the feel matches the spec sheet. Starts are brisk, sand tracks feel easy, and city hops gain that carefree rhythm riders crave. A rated 275 lb payload keeps beach kits, coolers, and errands in play.
Why it clicks
- Hydraulic disc brakes for steady stops
- Seven-speed Shimano for simple cadence control
- Clean wiring and bench style saddle for casual rides
Fat Tire Step Over and Fat Tire Step Thru: classic cruiser stance with grip
The big-tire cruisers lean into comfort and control. Those 26x4 tires soak up chatter on broken pavement and float across soft sand with poise. And the 52V battery keeps torque lively in coastal hills. Step-thru frames ease mounting, while the step-over keeps the timeless beach line intact.
- Torque rated near 80 Nm from the hub system
- Ranges often 40 to 60 miles at measured assist
- Retro curves, upright fit, padded saddle
Folding Step Thru 20x3: packable power for small spaces
Apartment life or RV trips call for a folding step thru e-bike that stows fast. The Folding Step Thru 20x3 brings a 750W hub, a tidy hinge, and 20-inch rubber for tight streets. And it stays friendly at around commuter weight, so train steps or hatchback lifts feel manageable.
Quick hits
- Compact footprint with 20x3 format
- Range targets near 40 miles, rider and terrain dependent
- LCD readout shows assist, speed, and battery at a glance
Hydraulic disc brakes, frames, and finish: built for salty air
Coastal routes test hardware, so anti-corrosion finishes earn their keep. Aluminum frames resist the elements, and cable runs stay tidy. And with hydraulic disc brakes plus wide contact patches, confidence remains high on boardwalks and crowded crossings. The spec sheet favors familiarity, which helps service down the line.
- Aluminum construction with coast-ready coating
- 7-speed Shimano drivetrains for simple upkeep
- Optional suspension forks on select trims
Beach cruiser accessories and racks that fit the lifestyle
Weekend surf plan or market run, add-ons unlock the use case. A sturdy surfboard rack, rear rack, and soft saddles bring utility to the affordable electric cruiser formula. And the catalog covers locks, lights, and tubes fit for sand duty, so riders stay rolling when the tide says go.
- Surf carry kits sized for coastal boards
- Puncture-resistant tubes for shell-strewn paths
- Bag mounts and baskets for daily errands
And the service picture reflects a growing brand. A local pickup option at the San Diego warehouse helps regional riders, while nationwide shipping and a simple trial add assurance. Reports mention shipping lags at times, along with mixed response cadence, which tracks with smaller outfits across the space. Value still stands out, especially when sale tags dip hundreds off list.
Rider fit spans casual beach spins, commuter routes, and mellow trail detours. The hub drive’s steady pull and the 26x4 tires turn looser surfaces into friendly ground. And the lineup’s mix of Fat Tire Step Thru, Fat Tire Step Over, moto-style e-bike, and Folding Step Thru 20x3 covers most use cases without overcomplicating setup. For fans of simple controls and classic style, the formula lands.
