English Summer Rain

What a month we’ve had since our last shop blog post! First off we have now officially moved to 373 Cricklade Road, Swindon after a couple of months running between Swindon and Blunsdon. The shop is coming along now, the floors have been tiled, walls plastered and painted and we’re moving on to giving the outside of a building a new coat of paint. We’ve been using a cherry picker to work on the outside of the building (as and when the rain gives us a chance to do so) and hope to have some branding on the building very soon.

As well as working hard on the new shop we’ve been out and about at some events such as the Bicycle Carnival in Lydiard Park and Green Transport Event in Bristol. Our bikes went down a storm at the events and we couldn’t be happier with the reception we got!

This month you’ll be able to visit us at the following events and try out a selection of bikes from Wisper, GoCycle, iZip, Juicy Bikes and more;

Summer Fete at St Phillips Church, Upper Stratton
on Saturday 16th July 2011 1pm -4pm
Penhill Summer Fete
on Saturday 30th July 2011 11am-1pm

On a side note if your interested in us paying your company a visit or attending an event your putting on, please drop us a mail.

Swindon Bicycle Carnival

On Saturday 2nd July 2011, we attended Swindon’s Bicycle Carnival at Lydiard Park. The Bicycle Carnival is an event arranged by CTC and Swindon Borough Council aimed at getting people out on their bikes, dressing up and having fun! The Swindon Advertiser has labelled the event as ‘a huge success’!

Our selection of demo bikes on the day included the GoCycle, Wisper 905se Sport, Raleigh Leeds and more from iZip, Powabyke and Juicy Bikes. We got a great response from everyone on the day especially all our first time riders and one gentleman even said he found the ride ‘as addictive as alcohol’, we just hope he doesn’t mix the two! It was fantastic to see both younger and older people enjoying our electric bikes, especially when we had entire families taking the bikes for a spin!

Thanks to everyone that came out on Saturday (including those who helped out through out the day)!

Pushing Forward

Another week has past and we’ve been extremely busy trying to push everything forward inside our new shop. We’ve finally finished the wiring so now we’re able to start on the cosmetics such as the new ceilings, plastering, tiling the floor and decorating!

We just hope this beautiful sunny weather (we’ve been missing out on) the UK has been having will show up for us on our launch day in a few weeks time!

A new consumer unit! Yes, we have light! A work of art no?

Dangerous job breathing the dusty, dirty air in here at the moment!

I wonder what this is going to be, any guesses?

Alarm cables. Fancy untangling them?

Loops for 24v lighting. It’s like the ‘hanging garden of wires’ in the shop!

Happy customer!

After I had a test ride on several electric Wisper bikes, I was well impressed, I chose and purchased a Wisper 905es sport, from E-MOTION ELECTRIC VEHICLE COMPANY.

The Wisper 905es sport bike is a beauty, posh looking, well made, it’s quiet, smooth, very fast, comfortable and a joy to ride. A remarkable machine!

It’s great for going uphill with power-assisted throttle, from A to B, no sweat, and a smile on my face as I overtake a cyclist on a normal bike.

Excellent value for money.

I would recommend it to anyone who’s thinking of purchasing an electric Wisper bike, go for it!

Big thanks to Mark and Keith (Wisper team) who are very helpful and for their excellent customer services.
