So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

                                                                                                      The bike is meant for cruising. If by advantage you are referring to performance or utility, then it has no advantages over a hybrid. A hybrid bike has more utility and will outperform a beach cruiser bike any day of the week.

                                                                                                          Actually it was easier than I had imagined. The tire fit on relatively easy, it the inner tube that requires some "massaging" to fit snug.

                                                                                                          Here's a picture of how the that tire fits on a normal 2.175 inch rim:

If by advantage you are referring to performance or utility, then it has no advantages over a hybrid. A hybrid bike has more utility and will outperform a beach cruiser bike any day of the week.
                                                                                                                                  I never drove (or even saw) cruiser bike live so excuse my ignorance - why can't you cruise on hybrid bike (or any other "common" bike)? Are there any usability benefits (except the style which is "cool")?

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

Are there any usability benefits (except the style which is "cool")?
                                                                                                                                                      Oh you can definitely cruise on any other type of bicycle...just like one can cruise driving any car like Toyota Prius.

                                                                                                                                                                  Personally I enjoy the two-speed gearing as well as the seating position with the feet forward design. The rest of the bike is for show.
                                                                                                                                                                  I should try it Although not sure where to buy bikes like these where I live (except for special order)

I never realized it extended that far to Hermosa though! I plan to be there this month,

I would fly gliders outside my front door and ride the strand daily and ride my bike to Jui-Jitsu daily. Some really good times.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Sounds cool!

                                                                                                                                                                                              But remember, you will most likely need to swap out the rear coaster brake hub from the rear wheel. The stock hub is pretty wide and will not fit on most other frames. It's not a difficult procedure, it is just detailed because of the need to re-lace the wheel with a new different length spoke. Lacing wheel's aren;t too dificult, there's tons of youtube videos out there explain it.

                                                                                                                                                                                              But if you do get a frame made from scratch, tell the builder to make the frame's rear wide enough fit the rear hub. That will save you some time.
