Hundreds of workers in Martlesham were given the opportunity to test ride an environmentally friendly and cost effective mode of transport, when Steve Flynn from Flynnstar Cycles visited them with a selection of Powabykes.
Powabyke is an innovative brand of electric bikes and scooters supporting the move towards efficient and greener transport, through high performance electric vehicles which don’t cost the earth – literally!
The Powabyke range of electric bikes, available from Flynnstar Cycles in Felixstowe, have been designed to give all the benefits of traditional cycling without the effort which can put many people off jumping aboard a bike. Whilst Powabyke’s electric “Powascooter” scooters are clean, green and easy on the ear as well as the eye with both retro and modern models.
Steve Flynn showcased the impressive vehicles at the recent ‘Green Day’ event held by the BT centre in Martlesham which employs thousands of people, and they were a definite hit with commuters.
“People were lining up to have a go on them,” said Steve. “The majority of the workers live within 30 miles of the centre, and so they could really benefit from a Powabyke to get them to and from work in a cheap and environmentally friendly way.”
“Powabykes have a top speed of 15mph and a generous range of about 20 miles per single charge, Powabyke is a cost effective and environmentally friendly alternative to a car.”
The vehicles are powered by a battery driven 200w electric motor with a handlebar mounted throttle, so the rider can add as much or as little assistance as required.
Powabyke’s impressive range of electric bikes and scooters consume no petrol or diesel, produce no emissions, require no tax, license (if your car license was issued before 2001), or fare paying. Powabyke’s bikes also have the added advantage of requiring no insurance or MOT. They are congestion charge exempt and can be driven in bus and cycle lanes. Recharging is simple, the battery can be plugged into any domestic main plug socket.
Steve Flynn Added, “People of all ages can benefit from the advantages of a Powabyke, and in the run up to Christmas Flynnstar Cycles will be running a special promotion where customers can receive a discount of £50 off any Powabyke, and free front suspension forks – a saving totalling £110. Powabykes make an ideal Christmas present, and are great if you need a little help to get back into shape in the New Year!”
Powabyke has enjoyed global success with over 30,000 bikes sold and is proving to be a hit all over the UK as well as overseas.
Nick Child, Director of Powabyke commented, “It’s quite astonishing how much can be saved on trains, buses or even parking! With expensive parking charges in many towns and cities and petrol prices going through the roof there really hasn’t been a better time for Powabyke.”
The full range of Powabykes includes folding bikes, mountain bikes, shopper bikes and even a three-wheeled trike. The Powascooter range includes the retro PS168 as well as the more modern moped models.
