I bought a Dyno stretch cruiser in the 1990's. You could not stand on this bicycle to pedal so everything had to be done seated. I found that the low seat position was great for just short distance cruising but with all your body weight on the seat it can hurt after a while. My bike came as a one speed but I put in a Nexus 7 speed IGH which made it much better. As a one speed you could just barely start it on a crosswalk. If the crosswalk had a little up to it you might as well walk it across. I eventually settled on true recumbent bicycles for ultimate seat comfort and have not been disappointed. The bicycle looked cool but was not very real world practical.
