Saw it in passing but didn't pay too much attention. An interesting comment struck me, the rider accompanying the presenter was named Paul and he intends to to get local charge points set up!

Coincidence or what? Morphix who heads our Cyclecharge is also a Paul.

Marvellous.

Those awesome Freego bikes left the rest for dead, (OK, they were all septagenarians). First time I've seen E-Bikes on telly, I got really excited!

Matt Baker seemed very impressed, he could make a great ambassador for E-Bikes. He was very conservative about range at 30 miles, and they were 17 amp versions, but then I guess it is a bit hilly round there.

Just what was needed, it rained nearly all weekend, so I only got 8 miles in! I may have to get some E-Bike videos!!

Just watched it on iPlayer, that was a great bit of positive promotion for electric bikes.

You can see it here BBC iPlayer - Countryfile: 04/03/2012
I tell you what.....that publicity is about as good as it gets....watch out all you shops/dealers there will hopefully be a huge upturn in sales after that.....and lots of new members on here maybe....as well as more people wanting to join our CycleCharge - The UK's E-Bike Battery Charging Scheme scheme..............publicity and education is the name of the game, and prime time TV is the way to reach more of the great general public :D

Lynda :)

Have seen the countryfile video on the FreeGo website, a excellent promotion for FreeGo and the Eagle. If i had enough funds i would be ordering one now.
