Even the keenest of cyclists can find the morning ride into work a bit much; after all, who wants to turn up to the office and start the day feeling hot and sweaty?
Well, it turns out cycling doesn’t have to be hard work. Yes, it makes great exercise and yes, it’s far better than using a car, but what if you need to take it easy while still being green?
Ultra Motor has it covered. Its new range of electric bikes means that you can still keep your carbon footprint as low as possible while making up for it in tyre tracks (minus the sweat patches), using its Fast4ward range.
The new bikes are compact, fold-able and versatile, and make a great alternative to a regular bike. With a 250w motor, you needn’t break a sweat when it comes to riding up those hills because the bike will put the power in for you.
An environmentally friendly alternative to commuting via train, car or motorbike, the bikes are easy on the planet as well as the purse strings thanks to their rechargeable batteries; just 7p of electricity will take you 40 miles.
As well as all the benefits of your usual bicycle, the Fast4ward range gives you the chance to go a little faster; the motor can take you up to 15.5 miles per hour, which is 50% above the average cycling speed. So there’s no need to be late to that Monday morning meeting…
The beauty of the range is that you can pick your pace; cycle all the way if you want to or if you’re tired after a long day of work you can switch it on and give yourself a break. You deserve it, after all.
If you’re not sure you want to take the plunge but would like to give it a go, Ultra Motor has recently teamed up with Hertz, the world’s largest car rental company to allow Londoners to hire the electric bikes for just £20 a day from the Marble Arch branch.
Try before you buy – can’t argue with that…
