I wouldn’t rush into the Electra cruisers because of the weird crank forward “flat foot technology.” Then the owners struggle to get handlebars and seating position that works.
You want the seat post to go to the bottom bracket.
While I found the "Flat Foot Technology" pretty misleading on the Electras (at least on the Cruiser) because if my foot is flat the seats too low. BUT I do like the more open-relaxed cockpit of having the seat back with wider handlebars. I find it to be extremely comfortable.
I'm a real fan of my 7D in steel. True, you don't get the 3 pc crank and it is a little heavier but I think the lower cost is worth it. The only time I think I notice the weight is loading/unloading it into my truck The seat on the Lux is nicer (debatable) the one on the base model was pretty bad but I replaced mine with a Brooks which ate up the cost difference of the bikes lol.
