“I would just like to say how good I have found the Salisbury bike.
I’ve had it for a week and have used it every day to get to work.
I live near Wakefield in Yorkshire and it’s very hilly.
The distance is just over 10 miles and has about 600 feet of climbing.
The electric bike has taken 10 minutes off my normal bike’s 50 minutes travel time,
and also means I arrive at work relatively sweat free.
It even helps me up a 50m 25% hill which before I had to get off and push.”

Electric bikes and the modern life-style
For a versatile transport solution to modern living, motorized bikes or electric bikes offer many advantages. The electrically assisted or motorized bicycle brings truly low cost powered transport and answers the fitness challenges and time pressures of twenty first century living.

The costs of running an electric powered bicycle
Provided an electric cycle falls within the UK legal definition, an electric bike is classed as a bicycle under UK law. As a result the on-going cost of ownership is minimal with no insurance, MOT or vehicle licence required. There are no worries with prices at the pumps. Relatively cheap mains power and rechargeable batteries mean a very low cost per mile, and as the rider contributes energy to locomotion, the overall cost per mile is a fraction of conventional powered two wheelers.

For pleasure and leisure - What a motorized electric bicycle can do for you
Riding an electric cycle brings all the outdoor cycling enjoyment without the strain. Users can balance pedal effort with the electric power contribution, to suit individual preferences. Electric bikes come in a variety of styles. Electric Mountain Bikes provide the smooth comfort of shock absorbers for tackling rugged terrain and e-bike styles range from the conventional to rather quirky.

Town commuting with assisted power electric bikes commuting
For the employee wanting to avoid arriving at work in a sweat, the relatively effortless experience of power assisted cycling is a welcome relief. With speeds of up to 15 mph on assisted power or motor, electric bikes can make headway on town roads. Where congested roads provide cycle lanes, the electric bicycle is king of the road.

Electrically powered cycles and fitness
The electric bike at first glance, appears to offer less fitness potential compared with a standard cycle. However, as the electrically powered bicycle gives a better performance, shorter journey times, and extends a cyclist's comfortable range, there is far more reason to use it, in place of a car.

More frequent use of a motorized bicycle, contributes to overall health by bringing the benefits of regular cardio-vascular exercise. An electric bike can save users time and cost, previously invested in toning up at the gym.

For users wanting to make the most of their own energy, an electric bike with a broad range of gears is ideal. It reduces the reliance and necessity of tapping the motor power to maintain a reasonable pace or climb.

Tackling challenges and longer journeys with the aid of motorised electric bikes
With the exception of the hardened fitness cyclist, one of the disadvantages of cycling is the negotiation of hills. Electric bikes help take the strain, by adding power to the users own contribution, creating a more effortless climb. Depending on the electric cycle and the weight of the rider a good electric bike can negotiate a ten degree hill, and with the rider contributing as well, even greater slopes.

The improvement to individual performance that electric cycles give, mean that longer journeys can feel like a short-run.
