    It hasn't taken long.....

    I bought my ebike in Feb and my son bought one a few weeks after. Hub stuck to his traditional mountain bike saying he would NEVER get an ebike unless absolutely necessary.

    Back on a bike!

    Hi all Tried my first e bike today which my lovely hub and son then generously bought for me. It's nothing fancy, an entry level step through bike, but I love it. Severe Osteoarthritis in one knee has stopped me walking far and driving is painful so I thought I'd get back to cycling as soon as...
