• Speed
Commuting into the city then you will often find yourself restricted to below 10mph in your car, but with an electric bike, skip between the traffic at the bikes top speed. Travelling on a bike you will have access to routes unobtainable to other modes of transport, resulting in a faster door to door journey time overall.
• No Sweat

The purchase of an electric bike eliminates the red faced start to your day, all you need do is simply set the bike to throttle mode, site back and enjoy the ride!
• Be Green
The amount of energy that is used with an electric bike is far less than that used in a car, moped or motorcycle. The only consumable on an electric bike is the battery; an electric bike typically consumes an average rate of 100 to 150 watts of electrical energy compare that against a car which uses 15,000. So in terms of fuel consumption, an electric bike achieves about 800-2,000 mpg, there is no other commercially available vehicle that can achieve this!
• Fully Road Legal
Ok so the electric bike has a motor, but they are still a bike, and a classified as one with all the right government bodies. Electric Bikes are treated just like normal bikes for legislative purposes, so that means no registration, no MOT, no license, no red tape when you purchase an electric bike!
