Transport Minister Norman Baker said:
“Cycling is good for your health, good for the environment and helps to tackle congestion. We want to see more people taking to two wheels and this includes electric bikes, which might be the attractive option for those who feel unable to tackle steep hills on a traditional push bike or who might otherwise feel daunted by the idea of a long ride relying purely on pedal power. I have certainly enjoyed and appreciated the electric bike around the hills of Lewes.”
