Coals to Newcastle...E-bikes to Kortrijk!

[Kudoscycles]

The bike show at Velofollies,Kortrijk was a good mixture of sports and e-bikes,the location is only 90mins drive from Calais so it would be an easy visit.
It did not seem to be dominated by the big dutch manufacturers such as Sparta,Gazelle or Batavus but some smaller interesting stands from Swyff,Grace(very powerful 1800 watt motors),Haibike,Balance and Qwic...the majority were classic dutch style step-thro on 28" wheels...our most popular bikes were the Cheetah(for motorhomes),Eco(sporty ladies) and Liberty (dutch step-thro)...our Belgian dealer sold 5 Eco bikes,all to individual customers, who all commented that the Eco was a style of bike not usually available in Belgium and wanted something different.
They found it strange that a UK company would come to Belgium to sell bikes,the only other Uk bike manufacturer,that I saw,was Brompton.

Thanks Dave. Are there any videos or photos of the event that you know of? Don't suppose any of the bikes had fairings or canopies or tent mounting points or inframe multiple camera systems or that kind of thing! ..

Congratulations on the sales and the interest you sparked Dave. Good to hear of a British company opening up a new area of trade in this part of Europe. I daresay your pricing was found especially interesting in that market.

Hi Dave,

Did Brompton say anything about their new e-assist offering ?

Make sure its not Anglian. Mine still leaks after countless attempts to solve the problem. Will post something in the charging post forum as I am more likely to find a solution with the members in this forum than anywhere else.
