ELECTRIC CYCLES
Electric bikes also have their own particular advantages:
Make your commute
easier if it involves hilly riding or on days when there’s a headwind.
They take less effort
to ride - you are more likely to arrive at work feeling comfortable.
It is often possible
to convert bicycles, including folders, to use electric assistance.
Electric cycles are
getting lighter and more efficient all the time.
Electric cycles complying
with UK law don't require road tax or insurance and MOT, just like ordinary
bicycles.
Note that electric scooters and mopeds do not fall into this category.
If in doubt check with your dealer that the model you are considering
purchasing is road legal and does not require tax and insurance.
SAMPLE ELECTRIC CYCLES
Here is a very small range of the folding cycles available to suit a broad
range of pockets and users:
EZEE ELECTRIC BIKES - A new breed
of fast, powerful and sporty bikes
Ezee are known for
their fast and powerful motors and the solid quality of the bikes.
The Ezee Torq is near
the top of their range but is a superbly performing bike, with a relatively
small but zippy motor and a lightweight, quallity alloy frame.
Other models include
the folding Quando and the budget Liv.
POWACYCLE - Innovative battery technology
but reasonably priced and not too heavy bikes
A great range of
sensible and well-priced machines. Lithium battery models start at £599.
Light alloy frames
and quiet hub motors.
Have developed their
own lightweight lithium-polymer batteries - a first for the UK.
The Powacycle Salisbury LPX features lithium-polymer
batteries; light, but with a good capacity they are part of the technology
that
is set to revolutionise electric cycles
ELECTRIC FOLDING BIKES - With electric assist and foldability now practically combined you have the ultimate package of portability and power. Combine with public transport and you have a great way of travelling.
