Electra is a reputable company and makes decent bikes for their purpose. Go ahead and try the Trek Navigator and then buy the one you are most comfortable with. At your level of riding tubing material and hub type are less critical as long as you are buying a reasonable quality. Changing a tire on an Electra 3 speed is not anymore difficult than on a regular multi speed bike with a bolt on hub.
