Benefits of
Electric Bikes
Versatile
With an electric bike, commuting couldn’t be easier. You get the same fresh air, freedom and exercise you would from riding a regular bike, with the benefit of assistance when you need it! E-bikes are also more eco-friendly than driving and will save you money.
Arrived refreshed,
not exhausted
Cycling up hills can be hard – very hard! With an e-bike, it doesn’t have to be. E-bikes provide assistance up to 15.5mph making every trip a breeze. Plus, most e-bikes have different levels of assistance and you can turn the assistance level up whenever you need it the most.
Did you know?
Depending on various factors, most e-bikes have a maximum range of between 40-100 miles. For most people, that would mean you could commute to and from work for a full week, on only one charge!

Benefits of
Electric Cars
Eco-friendly
Electric cars are a great way to reduce pollution.
As they are powered by electric, they release no tailpipe emissions and driving one could significantly reduce your carbon footprint. Get an electric car, and you’ll be doing your part to help the environment.
Faster, quieter and cheaper!
That’s right, an electric car can be faster, quieter and cheaper than fossil fuel alternatives!
For a start, electric cars don’t have noisy engines and are near silent. Recharging can also be more cost effective than refuelling, plus all fully electric cars are exempt from road tax until 2025.
Lower maintenance
Compared to standard motors, the motor in an electric car is much simpler with less moving parts.
As a result, electric cars require less maintenance than regular vehicles, saving you more money!
