50cycles shop in London

[HarryB]

We put the first bikes in display in there this afternoon and I was surprised at the early interest - schoolkids and their dads stopping in their tracks. Someone saw me gliding uphill on an a Tasman before going into the shop and had to stop me to check how I did it. This is going to be fun.

Looking like we will be fully open next week. I will post full details shortly and publish a new dedicated page on our website.

Will you have the new Sahel range in your Richmond shop? Actually do you have the Sahel in loughborough in all sizes?

There'll be a Sahel Comfort on display, yes. That's the one with the Brooks saddle and handgrips. Good-looking bike.

I am assuming that all the sahels pros and comforts are the 55cm large frame? Are you expecting any other sizes in?

No need to go so far north - Warrington would be fine! I'm slowly forming the thought that it might be time to move on from PowaBike but there's nowhere locally to try a range of more modern bike. Yes, move to Warrington! (Cheshire)

How about Valley Scooters in Bolton....I think they stock a good range of Ebikes

New London electric bike shop now open

Our new shop in Richmond is now open and You'll find us at 82 Hill Rise, Richmond TW10 6UB and current opening times are 9:00am - 5:30pm Tuesday to Friday, 10am - 2pm Saturday and also Sundays soon.

We're about 10 minutes walk from Richmond railway station, which connects to Waterloo, the London Overground and the District Line. Richmond bus station is 5 minutes away and there's on-street parking near the shop. Bikes can be locked immediately opposite our premises.

Richmond itself is well worth a visit with scores of restaurants, cafés, bars, shops of every description and a superb riverside area. Kew Gardens, Hampton Court Palace and of course Richmond Park are all within easy reach, so you could really make a day of it.

What's in store
The current line-up includes the 2010 Sahel Comfort, Pro Connect LX & Agattu Step Thru. We also have the 2009 Tasman Gents on special offer, a Pro Connect S & the new Oxygen E-Mate City. There are Casco E.Motion helmets, Nukelights and Spooklights. A selection of Yakkay helmets will join them soon.

And soon, for the first time, we'll have a non-electric bike on display, the gorgeously retro Kalkhoff Nostalgie (pictured left).

Hill Rise: a test ride paradise
The immediate area is perfect for test-riding ebikes, with some serious hills, riverside routes and miles of cycle track in Richmond Park. We'll soon have a number of electric bikes that will be available to hire by the hour (and if you decide to buy one of our bikes, we'll deduct the rental from your purchase price).

We know many of you have been waiting a long time for a proper retail outlet for Kalkhoff electric bikes to arrive in this area, so pay us a visit and you're sure to have a warm welcome and a lot of fun.

Like the offer of rental, own two kit bikes and would like to try some purpose built units, next time in town. Great looking shop inside and out. Reads like a idea location.
