"I bought two Powacycle Lynex folding electric bikes from Top Gear to replace a motor scooter that we carry on a rack at the back our MOTORHOME.
They are so easy to ride that we now be selling the scooter. Top Gear were so helpful in helping us. I am 68 years old and find it no problem to ride 20 or so miles even up hills. Thank You Peter!"

I bought a Wisper 905SE City to allow me to cycle to work more. I was fed up with cycling to work and getting there all hot and bothered, washing in our office cloakroom and having to take a change of clothes. Now I cycle in most days (unless the weather is appaling) take off my jacket and am ready to work straight away. I am nicely fresh from my gentle cycle ride and wide awake!
Often when returning home I turn the motor off and have a really good pedal. Great fun and good exercise. One of the best things I have bought.

Peter,
I am writing to say how pleased I am with the electric bike I purchased from you in the summer. I found the advice and information you gave on electric bikes very helpful.
The bike I purchased was an Urban Mover UM55 model, which fitted the bill perfectly, as I wanted the option to pedal on the flat and use the motor to help me on the hills.
It is a very comfortable bike to ride and though I am not very tall I find it very easy to get on and off.
I can recommend this make of bike and we have found it easily fits on our bike rack and is not too heavy to lift.

Hi Peter
Now I've owned the Wisper for a while, I thought I would let you have a short testimonial.
I use my Wisper regularly for a variety of journeys., from cycling to work (14 mile round trip) to nipping to the shops and visiting friends. I have also done a few longer 40+ mile runson it and on all occasions have found it has more than lived up to my expectations.
The long battery range (60+ miles) is very practical and the assistance the motor gives means I can arrive at my destinationrefreshed rather than red faced and puffing as used to be the case!
I am really pleased to have been able to buy the bike locally and the price and service received from Peter at Top Gear has been excellent.
The electric bike could well be the future of personal transportation,
Cheers

Note from Peter at Top Gear,
Great to get this feedback from Jason, as he is a young keen cyclist who is getting the most out of his electric bike and loving it.
"Thank you for your assistance with our recent purchase of two electric folding IZIP bikes. You will recall that we were concerned
as to whether we could fit both of them in our car boot as well as our camper van. Your patience was much appreciated,
especially when we wanted to try them in both vehicles several weeks apart!! Of course the real clincher was giving
Mrs H a test drive - she became an immediate convert and helped overcome my main hurdle!!
The bikes have had more use in the last few weeks than our previous (non-electric) bikes did in two years. Once again,
we are delighted with them and thank you for your helpful, friendly service to two 'newbies'.
Best Wishes,

Just wanted to tell you how pleased I am with my electric bike. I bought the Wisper 705 six weeks ago and have used it to cycle the hilly 12 mile journey to work most days since, arriving at the end of each journey feeling on top of the world, with a huge smile on my face.
I couldn't physically make the journey on a normal bike, let alone be fit to work at the end of it!
The time and effort you put into making sure I bought the right bike for me and my needs was greatly appreciated. It is perfect for me, I absolutely love it and refuse to use my car unless I really have to!
Many, many thanks for all your help,
