Cool stuff

We’re well into summertime now, aren’t we?

Although everything might feel a little unsettled at the moment – particularly with rising prices and fuel costs skyrocketing – it’s still a great time of the year for getting outside.

Needless to say, a lot of our products this month take a more outdoors-y approach. So let’s have a look at what’s on offer...

Champagne Carbon эB.03

THE world of e-bikes has really grown in recent years, particularly as battery technology has improved to allow longer ranges. GoCycle is definitely aimed at the more commuter end of the market, with its G4 e-bike offering a compact foldable design that manages to cram a lot into a small package.

Harley-Davidson Serial 1 SWITCH/MTN £TBC

HARLEY-DAVIDSON might be known for its classic American motorcycles, but it recently announced that it would be branching out into e-bikes with a whole new brand called Serial 1.

The new SWITCH/MTN is one of the latest products of that endeavour. It’s a proper off-roader, all based around a compact electric motor and battery. It’s even got integrated lights, so you don’t have to worry about fitting new ones.
