The Solé Step Through Coastal Cruiser is Solé's traditional beach cruiser with a step through top bar. It is built for the boardwalk bike path, campus riding and short trips around the neighborhood, designed in house in Venice Beach, California.
It is a single speed step through bike with a coaster brake, so you pedal backwards to stop. An extra wide cruiser handlebar and a cushioned comfort saddle sit you upright, which keeps your back, shoulders and neck relaxed. A chain guard and a kickstand come with it.
The frame and fork are high tensile steel, fully Tig welded, on 26 inch balloon tires. It weighs 32 lb and comes in one size for riders 5 foot and up. Solé rates it for pavement, flat roads and some hills. If your rides are steep, look at a bike with gears.
Easy on, easy off
Every Step Through Coastal Cruiser comes with a coaster brake, a chain guard, a kickstand, Solé's cushioned Coastal Cruiser comfort saddle and an extra wide alloy cruiser bar. One gear, so there is no shifter, no derailleur and no brake cable to look after.
Solé covers the frame and fork for five years against material and workmanship defects, for the original owner. We are an authorized Solé Bicycles dealer, so it is Solé's own warranty.
The brake lives inside the rear hub. Pedal backwards and it slows you down. There is no lever on the bar and no cable to stretch.
It pairs with a single gear: a one piece crankset with a 44T chainring and a 20 tooth cog, on a KMC chain. Easy to live with on flat ground, and a chain guard keeps your clothes clear.

The extra wide cruiser handlebar sweeps back toward you, so you ride upright instead of leaning over. Your back, shoulders and neck stay comfortable on a slow ride along the water.
Solé's Coastal Cruiser comfort saddle is extra cushioned, and the Gripmasters grips carry a woodgrain deboss. It is a step through beach cruiser made for easy miles, not for speed.


A low, curved top bar so getting on and off is a breeze.

26 x 2.12 inch tires on 36mm alloy rims, with Schrader valves.

Solé's Coastal Cruiser comfort saddle, wide and extra cushioned.

Frame and fork are high tensile steel, fully Tig welded, built to last.

A 25.4mm x 300mm seatpost, so you set your saddle height, not a frame size.

It comes in one size, designed for riders 5 foot and up, with a minimum inseam of 29 inches and a top tube height of 28 inches. Solé says inseam matters more than height, and you want at least an inch of clearance over the top bar with your feet flat on the floor. Solé also strongly recommends that riders under 5 foot 4 get sized at a bike shop before buying.
The 32 lb weight and the parts are the same, apart from the tire: Solé lists 26 x 2.12 here and 26 x 2.1 on the Coastal Cruiser. The difference is the frame: the step through top bar sits lower, so it fits riders from 5 foot with a 29 inch minimum inseam, and getting on and off is easier. The Solé Coastal Cruiser has a higher top bar and is designed for riders 5 foot 4 and up.
You coast as normal, and when you want to slow down or stop you pedal backwards. The brake is inside the rear hub, so there are no hand levers or cables. Solé fits a coaster brake on all of its City Cruiser and Coastal Cruiser bikes.
Solé rates it for pavement, flat roads and some hills. It is a single speed bike made for cruising on flat terrain, so steep or hilly routes are hard work. For gears on a step through frame, see the Solé Three Speed Dutch Step Through or browse the Solé Bicycles collection.
It comes 90% assembled. You screw in the pedals and handlebars, fit the front wheel, drop in the seat and put air in the tires. The tools come in the box. Solé suggests a local bike shop check it over, but you can do it yourself.
Solé's suggested weight capacity is 275 lb. The bike itself weighs 32 lb.
