Test-ride the Duke electric bike on The Mall at the Bridgestone Eco-Rally

Submitted by Kudos on 22 July, 2011 - 10:35

A retro-style men's bike with contemporary electric-assist technology. Late for a lecture or delivering a brief, this bike will accelerate surprisingly rapidly and overtake traffic in style. The specification has intentionally been kept simple yet robust. The panniers & front rack allow generous luggage capacity and the wheel and chain guards mean no mess and no fuss. The Duchess is the female counterpart.

Thanks to all who attended the Bridgestone Eco-Rally on the Mall. Together with Spencer Ivy we must have offered 1000 plus test rides to the public and sold many bikes.... Some people were genuinely amazed at the fun these bikes can be-the usual grin the moment they experience for the first time the sensation of the pedal assist.
What is a testament to the range and reliability of these modern electric bikes is that we did not have to change a battery(LifePo4) or undertake any mechanical or electrical repairs at any time, despite these bikes being in almost constant use and ridden hard by members of the public who were not used to e-bikes.
Thanks again to all who attended, KudosCycles
