August 22, 20178 yr Evans Cycles have revisited Sir Ridley Scott’s iconic 1973 TV ad to demonstrate the hill-climbing power of the electric bike to today’s audience. Carl Barlow, now a retired firefighter, starred as the young baker’s boy struggling to push his bread-laden bike up the famous cobbled street to ‘the top of the world’ 44 years ago. The Hovis boy described his recent ascent on a Pinnacle pedelec as “gliding up the hill, first go.” Full story: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/news/hovis-boy-finally-conquers-gold-hill-e-bike/
August 22, 20178 yr . I thought if you’re wanting to cycle and get exercise, just use a bike – and if you want to get around with a motor then buy a moped or a motorcycle. Telling phrase there, British people seem to think that bikes are all about exercise, not transport. No wonder the ignorati shout 'Cheat' at us.

I thought if you’re wanting to cycle and get exercise, just use a bike – and if you want to get around with a motor then buy a moped or a motorcycle. “But having actually ridden one, my opinions have changed massively. I think they’re great for people to commute on over distances that might not be able to manage without the electric motor. I think they allow people to go out and enjoy riding their bike with people who might be stronger and faster, as they can keep up with ease. In short, they’re a really nice combination of using your own human power, your own effort and having a little bit of assistance too. I think once you’ve ridden an e-bike, you completely ‘get it’”.[/Quote]
