Reflecting the surging growth of the electric bike market over the past few years, the Cycle Show will be hosting its biggest-ever electric bike village with 27 brands exhibiting their new bikes and products at the NEC this year.
Over 100 bikes can also be tried and tested on the dedicated track for electric bikes, which includes a 700m outdoor loop, featuring a 30m ramp to test their climbing abilities.
The brands on show include A2B, Royal Dutch Gazelle, FreeGo, KTM, Wisper, Raleigh, RooDog, Peugeot, Juicy, Momentum, Cube and Batribike – offering every type of e-bike including folding bikes, town-cruisers and mountain bikes.
Chris Holman, Event Director says “There has been a huge uptake in people riding e-bikes, both in the UK and abroad. The Cycle Show brings the biggest brands in the industry together so that visitors can find out more about the benefits of e-bikes, test them and also be advised on how to choose the right one for the right purpose.
There will be over 260 exhibitors at the 2015 edition of the Cycle Show, covering everything from road to BMX, mountain biking to gadgets.
Saturday hosts the show’s second cyclocross race and the UK’s biggest dirt-jumping contest returns with Monster’s Sam Pilgrim inviting the sport’s best riders to the NEC competing for a £5k prize purse.
