C7i

The PUBLIC C7i will take you wherever you want to go—in comfort and style.

At the heart of what makes the C7i our standout Dutch-inspired low-step bike is the Shimano Nexus 7-speed internally geared rear hub. This durable, low-maintenance system delivers smooth, effortless shifting and allows you to change gears whether you’re pedaling or stopped at a light. Paired with a simplified drivetrain and our strongest double-walled rims, the C7i is built to provide years of reliable performance—even on rough local streets.

The classic Dutch commuter design has been popular across Europe for decades, thanks in large part to how easy it is to mount and dismount. The upright riding position offers comfort, confidence, and excellent visibility from the rider's perspective.

Like all PUBLIC bikes, the C7i includes front and rear rack mounts, making it easy to add a rack for panniers or a basket. Many riders choose to further personalize their bike with a Brooks saddle and accessories from our thoughtfully curated selection.

In addition to the smooth-shifting Nexus hub, the C7i features powerful dual-pivot brakes for dependable stopping power and 3M reflective sidewall tires to enhance nighttime visibility.

We designed the PUBLIC C7i in response to riders who wanted a high-quality, stylish, internally geared city bike that delivers versatility and function at an accessible price. It’s one of our favorites—and we’re confident it will be yours, too.
