About 50cycles UK and our electric bikes
The best thing about electric bikes is the sense of freedom and control out on the road. It's amazing how much ground you can cover in a few minutes. In the time it takes to get in a car and onto the road, you'd already be hundreds of yards away on your electric bike. You'll slip through stalled traffic, whizz along cycle routes and arrive at your destination exhilarated, but ready for anything. Meanwhile, the car driver is either stationary in traffic or figuring out where to park. Or putting change in the parking meter. Most journeys you do are within easy range of an electric bike, so the car begins to look a bit... out of date.
50cycles Ltd only sells the most advanced and capable electric powered bicycles. These are some of the best electric bikes anywhere in the world. They are practical and fun to ride, rewarding their owner's investment over and over again. That's why we are the official UK importer and distributor for eZee and Kalkhoff electric bicycles and accessories.
The eZee Sprint is one of the best electric bikes on the market according to A to B magazine (and they've seen them all...). Our 2006 best-seller was the all-conquering eZee Torq, our first electric hybrid style bike and winner of the UK's first electric bike rally. We also stock the best hill-climbing electric bicycles, the plucky little eZee Quando folding electric motor bike and the new F-series eZee Forte and Forza electric bikes. Our latest bikes prove that high-quality, high-performance electric cycling is something everyone can enjoy. The new eZee Liv, for example, is the first high performance / low cost electric bicycle to seriously consider. The benefits of powered cycling are well established: it's a great way to get out of your car or off public transport and it provides exercise and exhilaration at the same time.
The latest additions to our range are the Kalkhoff electric bikes. Manufactured in Germany, they're light, comfortable, have exceedingly long ranges and great equipment. They use an updated version of the Panasonic brushless motor that made the Giant Lafree so popular and that is used in the more expensive and heavier Gazelle and Biketec Swiss Flyer electric bikes.
Electric bike batteries
Lithium-based batteries are slowly becoming more common but 50cycles were the first to offer it as an option across our range of electric bikes and power-assisted models. Our 37V 10A Lithium battery pack is the most powerful found on any electric bike and is standard across our range. Of all electric vehicles, from electric hybrid cars, the Segway, electric scooters and motorbikes, electric bikes offer the greatest flexibility and convenience, with few barriers to entry and great health and fitness benefits for all. Anybody over the age of 14 can ride an electric bicycle in the UK without a licence, insurance, MOT. Our electric bikes point the way to the future of green transport because they are thrilling, smart and fun.
