“Having the e-bike here is really helpful in making me more efficient. If I need to get along to the Hub or on site quickly, I don’t need to use our own car – which my wife sometimes is already using – but just jump on the electric bike. It takes most of the effort out of cycling around the locality, neutralises the wind factor which can be significant and is always a pleasure.
It just saves a good bit of time. I’m often carrying smaller items and having the assisted power makes it less burdensome moving those around too. CLEAR runs a regular bike workshop and also organises occasional bike runs so we took the – e-bikes out a couple of times in the better weather and were able to travel considerably further than usual. We hope to do more of this next summer”

“I used the e-bike for two leisure trips with my husband, it was wonderful – loved it. I am seriously considering buying one and using it for local shopping/library trips as well as leisure – my husband is a keen cyclist and I am too slow going up hills to keep up with him. I got a great kick out of overtaking him on a steep hill!”

“The e-bike allows me to get from my office to the University Sports Centre at lunchtime without driving – it’s too far to walk in the time available. I park on the edge of town in the morning, cycle to the office, cycle to the Sports Centre and back at lunchtime and then cycle back to my car in the evening. I do this 2-4 times a week”
