Electra shares a new collection called the “Men’s Attitude Collection”. On show was the Mulholland 3i, Zarape 3i, and Lakester 3i, all new for 2011.

The graphics of each 2011 Electra– Mulholland 3i, Zarape 3i, and Lakester–are inspired by those on classic cars, or hot rods.

The 2011 Mulholland 3i, derived from American muscle with its sweeping lines and bold colors, will be available Spring 2011 for $799.99.

Zarape 3i takes on a lowrider look. In the lowrider world of restoration, many enthusiasts focus mainly on restoring a car’s running gear and external cosmetics, but when it comes time to change the upholstery, a Mexican blanket does the job. Car pinstripes were applied in various places across the frame in orange, while the main color used is a matte petrol. MSRP is $799.99, and will hit Electra retailers Spring 2011.

Last but not least is the 2011 Electra…

When it comes to personal timing, the Watchdog Timing System is the latest addition to the DMC Moto trainer and the Freelap. The Watchdog Timing System is made with electronics from Texas Instruments. It can read altimeter and temperature. More so, Watchdog programmed the watch to be in sync with the timing system.

The new Watchdog Timing System has a built-in heart monitor and a chest strap. It features a laser with full size systems by Tag Hauer and claims to be more accurate than the Freelap.

The laser can get accurate data within 300m in all directions from where the laser was placed.
For two laser units and a watch, the retail prize for the gadget is 279 Euro. If many riders use the same system, an extra watch is priced at 95 Euro.
