E-BIKE PROJECT

Now you may be thinking what’s an ebike?
An electric bike is a bicycle with an electric system to make rides fun and more possible. Electric bikes steer, pedal, brake, shift gears, and operate all mechanical functions just like a normal bike. When the rider is ready for some help (or fun!) the pedal assist can be activated at any time to crest the hill, beat the wind, or to make it that much easier. Electric bikes do not pedal for the rider and they don’t replace the rider's exercise.
Now you may be thinking what’s an ebike?
The simple answer is that ebikes are the next evolution in cycling. eBikes take all the practicality of a traditional bicycle and allow it to go much further with a lot more fun. The electric assist is the next big leap into the future.
Funding from The Peoples Health Trust has enabled us to purchase 7 Giant Giant Fathom E+ 3 electric mountain bikes. The bikes are all ready to go and we look forward to getting out and using them with you when the Covid 19 restrictions are lifted.
