In a previous post we told you how much Mark Zuckerberg enjoyed riding his Model 18 E Rider and here we see the Prime Minister taking a short break from the Downing Street Xmas parties to have a look at our bike. In fact this particular Model 18 bike had an exciting few weeks […]
This is an image of the Model 22 our new bike for next year which you can reserve now for only £100. So as we approach a new era we thought it might be interesting to show how our Company has developed over the years. E […]
Electric motorcycles are inevitably the future of motorcycling. With the government hoping to reach zero emissions by 2050 and banning the sale of petrol and hybrid engines from 2030. Sooner or later motorcyclists will need to convert to electric bikes and whilst there may be less torque and very little sound, there are a number […]
In the new season of Spitting Image, produced by the BBC, Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook can be seen riding his E Rider Model 18 bike. OK, he’s a puppet but the bike is real!!
There is no doubt that this appalling Covid 19 virus is affecting us in many ways and with the current shutdown our economy is gradually grinding to a halt. It seems as if there is no easy fix and it is likely we are going to have to learn to live with it. But at […]
Last week we had a container seized by pirates. Yes really!!! Our bikes were hijacked and we received a ransom demand in excess of £20,000. This demand for an 106% import tariff came from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs who had intercepted our latest shipment at Felixtowe docks and transported it to an unknown location. Of […]
In March 2015 the Office for Low Emission vehicles announced with a great deal of fanfare a 7.5 million pound fund for grants to encourage the use of electric scooters and electric motorcycles. We were delighted. As the leading supplier of electric mopeds in the UK we thought this was just the impetus that was […]
Our new Moda bike has been very well received. It has good storage space under the seat however it seemed to me that it was unfortunately just the wrong shape to take a helmet and mine did not fit. Not having to carry a helmet around while your bike is parked can be very valuable […]
We generally sell our electric bikes to UK customers but recently quite a number have ended up abroad- either attached to motor homes or permanently exported. There is no doubt that riding an E Rider in the sunshine is one of life’s great pleasures. We have recently supplied a number of bikes to the same […]
E Rider bikes have now been delivered to all nooks and crannies of the UK. One of our carriers was delivering a Model 15 bike to a customer and took this wonderful picture.
E Rider has had a tremendous year in 2016 with a number of new models introduced and exceptional sales growth. The only problem we have had was getting enough stock to keep up with demand. I think, when we look back, 2016 will be seen as the year when all the many benefits of electric bikes […]
One of our London customers has been taking his Model 15 around the city centre and has photographed it in some places you might recognise…… [metaslider id=3149]
E Rider has been highly successful over the last few months. Sales have been unprecedented- to the extent that we have no bikes left in stock to sell!!! Not sure of the reason for this- perhaps it is just the time of year but perhaps the UK is catching up with the rest of the […]
So now you not only have an opportunity to buy one of our fantastic bikes but you can actually invest in our future. E Rider has listed on the Seedrs platform and you can see the listing here. We have written to all of our customers to make them aware of the opportunity and everyone […]
Well he’s used to going a bit faster….100 MPH faster to be precise!!! This is Bruce Anstey who was in the winning Mugen Team in the TT Zero race last year. Bruce is the former lap record holder on Superbikes round the track with an average speed of over 130MPH. He is a big supporter of electric bikes […]
One of the key roles of a Government in the 21st century is the safety and well being of its citizens. It protects us from illness, makes sure we have food drink and shelter and reads our emails to ensure that terrorists don’t blow us up. It even makes us pay a premium for our energy to […]
Sometimes it’s just not your fault. When we think of the reasons why people have had their driving licenses revoked we tend to think about points totals or driving whilst under the influence. And such people tend not to get much sympathy because the loss of their licence could have been reasonably foreseen and their actions, in […]
Owning or leasing an E Rider bike really can change your life. We have many customers who have, for whatever reason, had their driving licences taken from them by the DVLA- this often seems to happen to those unlucky enough to suffer head injuries, brain disease or even mild stroke. An E Rider Model 15, […]
Last Saturday, El Chapo the Mexican drug lord, broke out of his high security prison with the help of this motorbike which he drove through a tunnel. This must have been very noisy and uncomfortable for him. Furthermore the exhaust emissions in the tunnel would have built up to dangerous levels. So next time his mates want to spring […]
E-bikes are taking over! Well, in Holland at least The Dutch government is considering plans for an electronic-bicycle freeway in Holland, linking major cities through a new road infrastructure designated to allow for those riding E-bikes to travel up to 30mph on their very own designated route. The proposal follows an increase in the popularity […]
Last week there was an announcement from the Government of changes to the EAPC regulations which affect all electric bikes, including ours. There is a very good and full explanation HERE The main changes affect the higher rated 250 watt motor which we anticipated with the Model 15. They also removed the weight restriction on EAPC […]
Good to see so many European cities making electric bikes available to their citizens and tourists. In the last week or so we have seen Copenhagen and Madrid launch interesting hire schemes. However as far as we are aware there is only one city which has an electric scooter hire scheme. Disappointingly you need to be […]
Prince Charles visited us at the Ideal Home Exhibition however we could not persuade him to have a go on the E RIDER In fact the Prince has a long history with two wheeled transport and has associated himself with all things green and environmentally friendly. Unfortunately, though, his previous attempt to ride an electric […]
In a recent trial in Leicester, it was discovered that you can get to work more quickly on an electric bike than you can in a high powered car or on public transport And that doesn’t factor in the costs to the commuter or the environment…..
Forget saving the environment, forget one less car, forget setting a good example to your fellow citizens, family and children. Forget about a spiritual connection to nature. This list is all about how an electric bike can make your life more pleasant and comfortable. Warning, this list is for selfish thinkers who are not married with kids. […]
After a month together, Susan Clark and her borrowed electric bike part company but is she hooked and will she spend £1,000 plus to make their relationship a permanent one? To buy … or not to buy? For most of us, the answer or the beginning of the reasoning that will take us to a […]
Boris Johnson is to spark an electric bike revolution by introducing a new rental scheme on the streets of London next year. Several hundred battery-powered bicycles will be on London’s streets next year in a pilot scheme that breaks new ground in the UK. The bikes will be introduced in some of the capital’s hilliest […]
