The Big Electric Bike ride comes to Alton!

On Saturday 12th May, Crank Cycles is hosting ‘The Big Electric Bike Ride’ from their new shop on the high street. The ride is designed to give people the chance to try the latest in electric bike technology completely free of charge! Manager Martin Brown says ‘We will take groups out throughout the day for rides in the local area they are designed to take up to an hour and will take in hills, city streets and off road paths to test the e-bikes to their maximum potential. This is great opportunity for anyone interested in these superb machines to give them a proper test. We will have Lloyd Clarkson (UK e-bike expert) on hand for any technical advice, Lloyd is also a British Cycling qualified ride leader so he will be able to offer safe environment for your first e-bike experience.’

Lloyd said “If you’ve ever fancied giving assisted cycling a try, this event is perfect for you to have a go and put our e-bikes through their paces.

“We know that regular cycling can be off-putting to some, which is why we’re investing in this exciting new biking option.

“We’re encouraging everyone who’s ever considered swapping petrol power for pedal power to come and try one of our e-bikes.

Shop Manager Martin Brown says ‘This is an exciting time in the electric bike world, with the technology developing fast the eBike market has come on so far over the last couple of years, its growing at a huge rate. With over 40,000 of these models sold throughout Europe each year it seems like a no brainer to cater for this ever growing market. The technology has been around long enough now that it’s tried and tested and the newer models are very reliable.

Electric bikes are many things to many people. Some want to extend a commute or arrive less sweaty, and other a helping hand on the hills, when transporting children, or to keep up with the fitter riding companions. For others less able, an electric bike can be an empowering tool for independent mobility. Whilst some just like the fun factor!’
