<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Health &amp; Protection</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> The risk to the Uk is now high.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Health Protection (Coronavirus) Regulations 2020 have been put in place to reduce the risk of further human-to-human transmission in this country by keeping individuals in isolation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Amid this developing situation, being a responsible Electric bike supplier, we would like to assure you the health of both our customers and our team members is our biggest priority. We are closely following the advice of Public Health England and the World Health Organisation and introducing a wide variety of measures to minimise the impact to public health. </p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"> Safety &amp; Hygiene</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cleaning in our show room has been intensified, with our teams regularly sanitising their hands and maintaining distance when working with customers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> We will still carry on with test rides as these are done outside and assure you that each bike is then thoroughly cleaned and sanitised. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We encourage customers to use contactless payments where possible and the bigger transactions can be done by us on the computer with a receipt emailed instantly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">None of us have been abroad in the last nine months and if any team member were to show even mild signs of flu-like symptoms we will follow the government advice surrounding medical care and self-isolate.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Try At Home Service</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For those of you who don’t want to be out and about all our store products are available to order direct online from our <a href="http://www.espokes.co.uk">website</a> We use Royal Mail for our smaller items who are doing contactless delivery. They will knock on your door, place your item on the doorstep before stepping away to a safe distance for you to retrieve it. For ebikes ordered online or over the phone we can also arrange a contactless hand over.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> We will continue to offer our try at home service; where we take several bikes out giving customers the chance to try the bikes before purchasing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With bases in Basingstoke and Wincanton, we are regulars of the A303 corridor. We can easily cover Hampshire, Berkshire, Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading"> Cycling For Health</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All this has caused many of us to have anxiety and start to get depressed. Worry not! We know due to a 2018 study by Vitality Health; cyclists’ levels of depression are 25% lower than that of sedentary people making them more satisfied with life in general.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cycling regularly improves physical and mental health. It is also a good remedy against sedentary illnesses and halves the risk of obesity, heart disease and cancer. Giving a fitness level equal to someone ten years younger.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Special Offers</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In view of all this; we at Espokes would like to help get us all through this phase the best way we can. We want to keep everyone fit and healthy in mind and body. Here are some offers  we have put together to help make cycling more accessible;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our Ex-Demo Hunter Step through is now only £999 saving you £51. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We are giving FREE selected accessories with EZEGO ebikes sold. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">£100 off the Raleigh Motus Open making this Bosch powered Raleigh electric bike an absolute steal at only £1,700</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Finally</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We are continuously monitoring the situation. Following direction given by the government. We will take whatever action is necessary to protect the health of our customers and our teams. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cycling can be a key part of the transport solution. Many of our core service workers such as NHS staff still need to travel to work. Cycling is a much better solution to maintain social distances than on public transport. For this reason we plan to remain open as long as is possible. If you need to purchase an ebike, bicycle accessories or if you rely on your bike and need us to help keep it running we will be here. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We will notify you of any changes to our working hours or the way we operate as it happens through our <a href="https://business.facebook.com/espokeselectricbikes">Facebook</a></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">HSBC UK Breeze offers fun, free bike rides for women of all abilities across the UK. Together We Ride and together we are stronger.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whether you want to keep fit; are young at heart, <g class="gr_ gr_20 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Style multiReplace" id="20" data-gr-id="20">or  don’t</g> know how to change gears or pump up your tyres. Every woman <g class="gr_ gr_5 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Style multiReplace" id="5" data-gr-id="5">is  welcome</g> on our HSBC UK Breeze rides. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You’ll discover new places; Make new friends and have a lot of fun. That’s the <g class="gr_ gr_34 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Style multiReplace" id="34" data-gr-id="34">power  of</g> riding together. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">British <g class="gr_ gr_97 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="97" data-gr-id="97">Cyling</g>, <g class="gr_ gr_111 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" id="111" data-gr-id="111">Sport</g> England and sky set up Breeze in 2011 funded by the National Lottery. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The initiative was started to encourage women to get fit and have fun on their bicycles, by going on women-led rides. Breeze Champions will organise everything, lead the group, and make sure everyone stays safe. It’s free and it’s fun. All you have to do is <a href="https://www.letsride.co.uk/rides/breeze-through-winter-beginners-ride-1">sign up.</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> At Espokes, we have lots of customers who haven’t cycled in ages, are nervous about going on the road, get off to walk around corners, are put off cycling with men who know it all and who wobble more than a plate full of jelly. It is our pleasure to take these customers out on a short ride to test an electric bike. After a few circuits outside our showroom, they are no longer getting off to walk around the corners,  their scared faces have turned to <g class="gr_ gr_16 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" id="16" data-gr-id="16">beaming</g> smiles and they are asking if they can go a little further. We wanted to develop this so Laura signed up and trained to become a Breeze Champion. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> As a Breeze champion, Laura is responsible for organising fun social  bike rides for women to take part in. This is to help encourage women to  become more active,  improve their fitness as well as enabling them to  meet new likeminded people; so,  when she saw the Breeze Through Winter  campaign, we thought it was an ideal opportunity to motivate some ladies  to come out on their bicycles. </p>
</div>
</div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cycling does make you happy and at Espokes we want other people to experience this too even on their ordinary bicycles. Which is why Laura went off to be trained as one of over  2,000 volunteer Breeze Champions who organise and lead ladies rides. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Buy Local</h2>
<p><em>“Choosing to support an independent business is an act of respect; it’s acknowledging the tremendous risk and challenges inherent to starting your own thing.” &#8211; Matt Kliegman, co-founder The Smile, The Smile To Go, Black Seed Bagels, via </em><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/groupthink/2016/12/01/43-reasons-you-should-support-small-and-independent-businesses/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><em>Forbes</em></a></p>
<p>Buy local and support a small independent business like us.</p>
<p>Small Business Saturday UK highlights small business success and encourages consumers to shop local and support small business in their communities.</p>
<p>Originally launched in the US in 2010 Small Business Saturday was scheduled to come a week after two of the biggest shopping days &#8211; Black Friday and Cyber Monday.</p>
<p>Small businesses are important to the economic and social fabric of our society, and all of you play a part in small businesses surviving.</p>
<p>We feel there are many reasons why you should support our small business and not those of our larger competitors. Here are our three main ones:</p>
<p><strong>Personal Service</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.espokes.co.uk/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-1400 alignright" src="https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/IMG_3149-225x300.jpg" alt="Buy Local - Small Business Saturday - personal service - Laura instructing a customer" width="158" height="211" srcset="https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/IMG_3149-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/IMG_3149-510x680.jpg 510w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/IMG_3149-113x150.jpg 113w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/IMG_3149.jpg 720w" sizes="(max-width: 158px) 100vw, 158px" /></a>We like our customers to feel happy and relaxed. We will bend over backwards for every single customer because you all matter to us.  We spend as long as is needed with each customer, tailoring our service to suit you, so you can rest assured you will purchase the right ebike to fit in with your lifestyle and needs.  We really do care about each and every one of our customers.</p>
<p><strong>Family Run</strong></p>

					<div class="et_pb_testimonial_description_inner"><div class="et_pb_testimonial_content"><p>Extreamly pleased with service provided by espoke &amp; team.  I had tough time , finding a serivce centers for my eBike.  Since it&#8217;s an electric, many people turned down mentioning that  &#8211; they can&#8217;t take risk and not equipped with servicing an eBike . Including Halfords , Basingstoke. </p>
<p> But  when I approached eSpoke guys, they took it positively and ready to repair and service with &#8216;a disclaimer&#8217; &#8211;  In case of electric malfunction , they can&#8217;t do anything . I was sure that  nothing is wrong in any of electric part . </p>
<p> They did great job of servicing , I know people who love their job, they excel in their work &amp; service ( I personally believe in this ), one among them are eSpoke guys. </p>
<p> I have to appreciate , prompt &amp; a reminder communication from their side when my service due date is nearing , helps us to plan  the day well in advance. </p></div></div>

					<div class="et_pb_testimonial_description_inner"><div class="et_pb_testimonial_content"><p>Two months in and I can happily say my Raleigh Stride-2 from e-spokes is both the the most fun and the most useful bike I have ever owned. This has been an absolute hit with my daughter who loves to ride on “Daddy’s car-go bike”, it’s a hit with all her friends too who like to join her for rides. For accessories I highly recommend the canopy cover for sheltering any passengers from sun and rain, ours almost never comes off the bike now.</p>
<p>The different turning circle to a regular bike does take a couple of rides to get fully used to, and some routes I normally take needed a little adjustment, but does not take very long at all. The carry capacity is unreal, I’ve done full garden centre shops compost shops (~150lt) and massive weekly shops, just drop the bags in the “bucket” and then getting home (uphill) is a breeze as I can just up the power to compensate for the extra weight I’m taking home. I’m pretty certain I’ve comfortably loaded the bike with as much as some do in a small hatchback. This bike is a solid car replacement for shopping, trips round town, children taxi, and picnics in the countryside and I heartily recommend giving it a go.</p>
<p>Trust me, you’ll have trouble not smiling while riding, this really is a fun and useful bike.</p></div></div>

<p><span>I’ve had my Access Shetland now for about 3 months, and absolutely love it. Takes all the pain out of hills and puts joy into them! Seems a really sturdy bike, and easy to control too as much lighter than other ebikes. Is quite powerful and speedy when required. Only reason I didn’t give five stars is I find it quite tricky to fold and then lift into the car, but that’ll probably get easier with practice.</span></p>

<p>I&#8217;ve been using Espokes for about the last four years after meeting them at a show in Somerset. Based on their advice, I originally bought 4 electric bikes for a sustainable transport project in Bournemouth. Unfortunately, one of the bikes was stolen and we had to buy a replacement, so that made five bikes. Espokes collect the bikes from us each year, services them and returns them to us as part of their service. They&#8217;re all still going strong.</p>
<p>I recently decided to upgrade my own ebike as my previous model was over 5 years old and had covered over 4,000 miles, although not purchased from them they serviced that for me each year too. I spoke to Laura and the team about my requirements and settled on a Kalkhoff Image 5B with hub gears. It was a bit more than I had wanted to spend but I&#8217;m glad I took their advice. It&#8217;s a great bike. I&#8217;ve had it for a few months now and I&#8217;ve already covered around 500 miles on it and everything works really well. Great bike, great service, and excellent advice, what more could you want. It&#8217;s 5 stars from me.</p>

<p><span>Excellent service from Espokes…I bought this bike recently and I am delighted with it. The Italian styling is original and slick, as one would expect from their designers. It is lovely to ride and well-constructed. We received very good advice from Espokes and their follow-up service is first-rate. I would certainly recommend them.</span></p>

					<div class="et_pb_testimonial_description_inner"><div class="et_pb_testimonial_content"><p><span>I had been looking for an electric bike for some time, gathering information and recommendations, and decided to visit Espokes to see their selection. At a time when it was difficult for retailers to obtain stock Espokes had a number of options for me to look at. I liked the look of the <a href="https://www.espokes.co.uk/product-category/gepida/">Gepida Alboin Curve</a> and it boasted the Bosch mid-drive motor that had been recommended to me by a knowledgeable friend. I was invited to try it out, which I did, riding up and down the cul-de-sac in which the Espokes establishment is situated. I was sold – and bought the bike before it was snapped up by another customer.</span></p></div></div>

<p><span>This is the second Gepida bike I have bought from espokes, I was a little hesitant to buy a bike with hub gears but after 300 miles I could not be more pleased, especially with the range, I am 10st and using a mix of Eco and Sport I found it showing a range of up to 100 miles, could not be more pleased with the Bike and the staff at espokes.</span></p>

Heavier than a normal bike took a bit of getting used to, along with the very efficient brakes, but it handles well, the gears are smooth and the power is just right for getting up hills. The build is reassuringly sturdy and solid. I am thoroughly enjoying it.</span><br /><span>Two small niggles – probably just me – I found the configuration of the down-change lever a bit odd at first and the brakes can be a bit noisy at times. Also the lack of any kind of suspension in the seat, but is something that you’d probably get with a more expensive bike.</span></p></div></div>

I particularly like the double-pronged bike stand which makes it very stable when stood up. The 10Ah battery seems to last further than its stated range. As the weather has been so wet since getting the bikes we are looking forward to the dryer months when we can get out more. Definitely a worthwhile buy for us.</span></div>

I love my bike and have managed to make good use of it over the summer during a difficult period when we were subjected to lockdowns.

<div>From the moment I arrived to test ride an ebike (a <a href="https://www.espokes.co.uk/product/westhill-ranger-electric-bike-cross-bar/">Westhill Ranger</a>), I was welcomed warmly and helped through the process until eventually finding the perfect bike for me. As the handlebars were still a bit of a stretch for my 5’3” frame, having agreed to buy the <a href="https://www.espokes.co.uk/product/westhill-venture-electric-bike-cross-bar/">Westhill Venture</a>, the post was changed to create a more comfortable riding position. Having taken the bike away, during the first few rides I found changing gears an issue so took the bike back and free of charge, the gear positions were altered.</div>
<div>I know that Espokes will look after my future requirements and services of my new bike.</div>

<p><span>Thank you so much for repairing the puncture on my electric bike so promptly, fitting it in between your busy servicing. I am also grateful for the advice on bike accessories and am pleased with my new pannier and horn/light.<br />
I would not hesitate to recommend espokes , your social distancing, and other preventative measures at this time of COVID are excellent, as a 77-year old I really appreciate the sensible measures.</span></p>

					<div class="et_pb_testimonial_description_inner"><div class="et_pb_testimonial_content"><p>What a great bike! This is my first e-bike and having just moved to the Surrey Hills I wanted to be able to explore on and off road without being too worried about some of the climbs.</p>
<p>The Trail Destroyer is solidly made and seems easily able to cope with anything I throw at it. It’s as happy on the road as it is on a narrow, steep, trail and eats the miles. The battery easily lasts a hard day’s riding.</p>
<p>Laura made the whole process really easy. I tried a couple of options before choosing the <a href="https://www.espokes.co.uk/product/ezego-trail-destroyer-ii-electric-bike/">EZEGO.</a> She then delivered the bike set-up and ready. I’ve just had the (free!) six-week service. I enjoyed buying the bike and am loving my first eMTB.</p>
<p>I thoroughly recommend both the bike and Espokes!</p></div></div>

<p><span>Excellent, well made bike. It is on the heavy side but that does not spoil the bike, it looks modern and sporty and works very well. I went for the 14Ah battery, which seems to last longer than advertised, with economical use, and does not take long to charge back up. Great hybrid for use on road and gravel/tracks. 5th power level on the steep hills around me is a game changer. Awesome!</span></p>

I’m a 75+ year old OAP and until I purchased the Striker just over a year ago, flat terrain (and no headwind) were the only conditions for me to consider cycling. Over the years, I’ve always enjoyed riding off road as well and this tough, lightweight frame, multi-use tyres and with the epower backup have enabled me to enjoy what I used to do. It’s a great bike for distance on road riding and real fun when you venture off road.

But, as I live in a hilly part of the County, I wanted some assistance when needed. This bike has been a great buy. Well-made, well-equipped, comfortable, and easy to use. Best of all, it has tamed those daunting hills with very smooth gear changes and four levels of assistance. Not the cheapest electric bike on the market but, as with many things, I suspect you get what you pay for. At least I won&#8217;t have to spend a fortune on Lycra as I just grab my helmet and go.</p></div></div>

My aim is to ride round the IOW next year.<br />I have arthritis and thought my cycling days were over. Not a bit. The Striker has enabled me to get some exercise and to get fitter while having fun.</p>
<p>And the Customer Service from Espokes has been fabulous. Nothing has been too much trouble – from the initial test ride, to the collection of the bikes (my husband got one too), the first service and regular contact.

I find it so versatile – you can use less power and get a good work out if you so wish. I bought the 575w battery and so far 10-16 mile rides don’t even really register! It is early days but it has turned cycling into a much more pleasurable experience since we live in a very hilly area. My only slight criticism is I find the saddle a bit uncomfortable. Sitting more upright your weight is distributed on your backside so I felt I needed something softer. If you go on the Continent almost all the bikes use the Selle Royal Drifter (sprung). My son bought me one for my birthday which I will get eSpokes to put on at the service! Espokes have been very helpful and a pleasure to deal with.</p></div></div>

I had been looking for an e-bike for my wife aged 73 but couldn&#8217;t find one with low enough step through till now. I took it out on a trail run in a group ride out mostly on eco setting 1 using the 2 and 3 for hills only. We covered 22miles and power still showed 3 dots so about half power used. We were riding above the 14.5 max some of the time so I was able to keep up un unassisted.Vunassisted.Very impressed only comment is power delivery at lower speeds could come in more smoothly with extra sensors on the crank.</p></div></div>

					<div class="et_pb_testimonial_description_inner"><div class="et_pb_testimonial_content"><p class="ox-6ecfd652d5-msonormal">I am very happy with my e bike! Just outside my accommodation is a semi-steep hill about 400 yards in length. I love cycling up that hill. I go up in fourth gear with no trouble, and it feels like gentle exercise. People looking at me must think I am super-fit to go up the hill so easily, especially as I am very much a heavyweight. I am feeling fitter than before I had the bike, and I intend, by God’s grace, to get fitter and fitter as the year ahead passes. The fresh air is exhilarating. I find walking a bit boring, especially when I am not walking for a specific purpose. However cycling, even just for its own sake, is great!!!</p>
<p class="ox-6ecfd652d5-msonormal">I really would recommend electric bikes to everyone.</p>
<p class="ox-6ecfd652d5-msonormal">And E Spokes are the ultimate in good and friendly family service and great value for money. They put other dealers I’ve dealt with to shame, they really do, especially regarding their excellent after-sales service. They are very much deserving of their good reputation.</p>
<p class="ox-6ecfd652d5-msonormal">Try an e bike yourself. You won’t be disappointed!</p></div></div>

<strong>It’s a 15-minute car journey from home to work, by bike (currently) it’s a 30-minute journey! However despite the longer journey by bike I really have a sense of achievement and the journey has had a positive impact on my health and wellbeing.  There is no way that I would be able to cycle to and from work on the same day using a regular push bike! The bike isn’t always used for my work commute, I regularly borrow the electric bike at weekends to use with my family, as it allows me to travel further, keep up with my two boys aged 12 and 9 years and stay active as a family! <em>Charlotte  </em>                                                                                                                                                 </strong></p>
<p><strong>I have enjoyed using the e-bikes very much. My commute to work now only takes me 6 minutes whereas if I were to drive it would be 20 mins or 15 minutes to walk. The exercise and fresh air are wonderful, but the extra few minutes I gain every day are just priceless.                            <em>Micah </em>                                                                                                                                                    </strong></p>
<p><strong>My time on the bike was amazing, not only did it get me home from work a lot quicker but it was a lot of fun too!! I will definitely be asking to borrow one</strong> <strong>again.                                                              <em>Hannah  </em><br />

					<div class="et_pb_testimonial_description_inner"><div class="et_pb_testimonial_content"><p><span>I absolutely love, love, love my new Hunter 2 bike. I cycle already but wanted an ebike to use on longer trips rather than take the car (shopping, the gym, trips further afield, etc). I’ve only had it a week and I’ve used it every day while the car stayed at home. I’ve even been going on extra bike rides at lunchtime and after work as its so much fun. So far I’ve been able to cycle up every hill I’ve tried and I can still breathe and talk by the time I get to the top. I tried many bikes at eSpokes and definitely made the right choice.</span><br /><span>It has been a challenge to find locks that fit him (back wheel and frame to post AND front wheel to frame) and meet the insurers very exacting requirements but after trying loads I finally found two that would work (a D-lock and a chain)</span><br /><span>My only suggestion for an improvement would be an option to upgrade to disk brakes. The rubber block brakes don’t seem enough when speeding downhill in dry, never mind wet weather.</span><br /><span>Other than that my bike is perfect in every way.

<strong>We collected our new <a href="https://www.espokes.co.uk/product/roodog-striker-electric-bike/">Roodog Striker</a> ebikes from Espokes yesterday. The first test was to learn to use our Sat Nav for our journey to Basingstoke! We were met with the wonderful family team who had our new bikes ready and waiting for us &#8211; all charged up and ready to go. The Customer Care we have received from Espokes is the best we have ever experienced in regard to choosing and purchasing an e-bike. Good communication throughout the process, listening to what we needed and answering our queries promptly and efficiently. Then off to the New Forest where, having had some lunch, we tried an offroad trail for those new to offroading (family friendly). Bikes felt sturdy, responsive and easy to manoeuvre through the various gates etc. I could have just kept cycling along the trails. Have not had such fun for such a long time. We came home smiling &#8211; tired but very happy. I was out again this morning &#8211; down and round the harbour trying the off-road trail through the bird reserve. Brilliant.Thoroughly recommended.</strong></p></div></div>

<strong>We considered buying e bikes for the past 18 months or so looking at many options. Earlier in the year we visited the Motorhome show and once again found ourselves looking at e bikes. We visited the e-spokes stand who made us very welcome, assessed our requirements and we soon found ourselves trying the bikes. We both really liked the Wisper and knew they were the bikes for us and placed an order there and then. What a truly fantastic company to deal with. The bikes were personally delivered to our home on an arranged day and time and after some tuition, we were away!! We both love riding our bikes and look forward to using them for many years to come.</strong></p></div></div>

<strong>We bought 2 <a href="https://www.espokes.co.uk/product/roodog-bliss-electric-bike-folding-ebike/">RooDog Bliss</a> folding bikes from Espokes and take them camping on the back of our campervan. Our last trip was to Cheddar where we cycled the Strawberry Line cycle trail. At its highest point, it goes through an old railway tunnel which is BLACK. It was at this point that I realised that the front light wasn&#8217;t working! My wife took to the front and we sailed on without mishap. A phone call to Espokes upon our return and <a href="https://www.espokes.co.uk/?s=RooDog">RooDog</a> posted a replacement light out directly to us. The PO lost this one and a week later another was posted out that turned up the next day. I fitted it in 2 minutes and now we are sorted. We love our bikes and are most happy with the service we have received from Espokes and indeed from RooDog themselves. Until you need to test a warranty issue you never know how well the parties are going to perform. Well, no problem here&#8230;both passed with flying colours! Thankyou</strong></p></div></div>

<strong>We recently purchased 2 <a href="https://www.espokes.co.uk/?s=roodog">RooDog</a> electric bikes from Espokes – the <a href="https://www.espokes.co.uk/product/roodog-striker-electric-bike/">Striker</a> model and the <a href="https://www.espokes.co.uk/product/roodog-chic-electric-bike/">Chic</a> model – at the Newbury Motorhome and Caravan show. We had been contemplating buying ebikes for a few months and the decision to finally do so was based on various reasons:                               </strong></p>
<p><strong>1 – they are “funky” pretty bikes, not boring and dull to look at!                                                          </strong></p>
<p><strong>2 – we had a trip to France booked where we could hire electric bikes for 90 euros per person per week (WOW!) and still be empty handed                                                                     </strong></p>
<p><strong>3 – the reasonable cost, lovely service from Laura and the team, the free delivery of the bikes, the inclusion of a free 1st service and the ease of the transaction.                                                       </strong></p>
<p><strong>Since we got them, we have been out and about so much more than normal, enjoying our local countryside, enjoying different pubs and areas, and just having a different perspective from being in the car!                                                        </strong></p>
<p><strong>Thank you for opening our horizons!!! By the way, the bikes were brilliant in France, they have fantastic tarmacked cycle paths for hundreds of miles and cyclists of every type are so much better catered for! It was great!</strong></p></div></div>

<strong>My new <a href="https://www.espokes.co.uk/product/axcess-electric-bike-hunter/">Axcess Hunter</a> bike has changed my life!  I like to do a lot of cycling.  I am surrounded by hills which makes it somewhat hard work.  But the Axcess Hunter makes the hills so easy to get up.  I can go anywhere, either using the assistance to its full power or not, thereby keeping fit at the same time.  The system is so easy to use.  I feel completely safe and in control.  The bike enables me to sit up and look around rather than looking down at the tarmac struggling up the numerous hills.  Wonderful.  Liberating.</strong></p></div></div>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Breeze into cycling</h2>
<p>Breeze rides for women led by women.</p>
<p>Bleary-eyed early on a frosty Sunday morning, I dragged myself out of bed, fuelled up on a hearty bowl of hot porridge and dressed myself head to toe in layers of tights, leggings, vests, t-shirts jumpers and coats, questioning my own sanity and wondering if in fact I was even able to walk in all these clothes let alone ride a bicycle!</p>
<p>Why do I do this, when I could so easily have still been snuggled up in my nice warm cosy bed dreaming of swimming with pigs in the Bahamas!</p>
<p>The answer to your question is Breeze.</p>
<p>Breeze was set up in 2011 by British Cycling, Sport England and Sky with funding from the National Lottery. The initiative was started to encourage women to get fit and have fun on their bicycles, by going on women-led rides.</p>
<p>At Espokes, we have lots of customers who haven’t cycled in ages, are nervous about going on the road, get off to walk around corners, are put off cycling with men who know it all and who wobble more than a plate full of jelly.</p>
<p>It is our pleasure to take these customers out on a short ride to test an electric bike. After a few circuits outside our showroom, they are no longer getting off to walk around the corners, their scared faces have turned to beaming smiles and they are asking if they can go a little further.</p>

<p>The common denominator among these customers is simply lack of confidence.</p>
<p>Riding an electric bike is like you have someone behind you pushing you along; suddenly it takes all the strain out of that killer hill you would never have even contemplated. Having the assistance there also helps you balance better, especially on takeoff, and now you will want to go out on your ebike come rain or shine. You will also no doubt, find yourself going double the distance than ever before.</p>
<p>Seeing how an electric bike has transformed people’s lives is such a fantastic feeling.</p>
<p>Cycling does make you happy and I want other people to experience this too. Even on their ordinary bicycles. Which is why back In April last year I went off to be trained as one of over 2,000 volunteer Breeze Champions who organise and lead ladies rides.</p>

<p>This programme is the cornerstone of British Cycling’s ambition to get one million more women on their bikes by 2020.</p>
<p>As a Breeze champion, I am responsible for organising fun social bike rides for women to take part in. This is to help encourage women to become more active, improve their fitness as well as enabling them to meet new likeminded people.</p>

<p>So when I saw the Breeze Through Winter campaign, I thought it was an ideal opportunity to motivate some ladies to come out on their bicycles.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-1717 alignleft" src="https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/BREEZE-THROUGH-WINTER-FACEBOOK-POST-IMAGE-300x158.jpg" alt="Breeze Through winter" width="300" height="158" srcset="https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/BREEZE-THROUGH-WINTER-FACEBOOK-POST-IMAGE-300x158.jpg 300w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/BREEZE-THROUGH-WINTER-FACEBOOK-POST-IMAGE-510x268.jpg 510w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/BREEZE-THROUGH-WINTER-FACEBOOK-POST-IMAGE-150x79.jpg 150w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/BREEZE-THROUGH-WINTER-FACEBOOK-POST-IMAGE-768x403.jpg 768w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/BREEZE-THROUGH-WINTER-FACEBOOK-POST-IMAGE-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/BREEZE-THROUGH-WINTER-FACEBOOK-POST-IMAGE-1080x567.jpg 1080w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/BREEZE-THROUGH-WINTER-FACEBOOK-POST-IMAGE.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p>Last year Breeze recorded 6,500 women taking part in the challenge, which started January 1<sup>st</sup> and runs to 28<sup>th</sup> February.  As an added incentive, they are rewarding everyone who completes four HSBC UK Breeze rides before 28<sup>th</sup> February with a cycling goody bag.</p>
<p>With my first ride booked up in a matter of hours, it was a promising start.</p>
<p>Come Sunday morning, we were very grateful to be blessed with beautiful sunshine, even if it was very cold.</p>
<p>My ladies arrived – equally as layered up as me and all smiles.</p>
<div class="container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded"><a class="lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh-TZTuWWYE" data-video-title="Breeze post-Christmas ride out in Somerset" title="Play video &quot;Breeze post-Christmas ride out in Somerset&quot;">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh-TZTuWWYE</a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh-TZTuWWYE" title="Breeze post-Christmas ride out in Somerset">Breeze post-Christmas ride out in Somerset (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh-TZTuWWYE)</a></noscript></div>
<p>I had planned a short ride to start us off. Living in Somerset means we have a hill every which way, but I had managed to find a short ride with just one gradual hill in – which I figured would be good for us all, it would also mean we had worked for our coffee and cake stop which was at the top!</p>
<p>The coffee shop near the end of the ride, not only gave us a chance to warm up, but also to bond, and soon all the ladies were talking to one another as though they already knew each other. It also gave me a chance to find out what they want from the rides.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-1725 alignleft" src="https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/IMG_3765-300x225.jpg" alt="Breeze ladies outshide Hooga Coffee in Wincanton Somerset" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/IMG_3765-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/IMG_3765-510x382.jpg 510w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/IMG_3765-150x112.jpg 150w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/IMG_3765.jpg 703w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p>Cycling with these wonderful ladies is what gets me out of bed on a frosty Sunday morning. I certainly had a lovely morning and it left me feeling refreshed and energised for the rest of the day.</p>
<p>So whether you have made getting fit your new year’s resolution or you are already a seasoned Breeze rider.<a href="https://www.letsride.co.uk/breeze"> Sign up</a> on some rides and let’s see if we can beat last year’s 6,500 and if the only thing putting you off is the thought of those hills – we are <a href="https://www.espokes.co.uk/hire-an-ebike/">hiring</a> electric bikes at a discounted rate to ladies booked on a Breeze ride of only £15 book yours now email <a href="mailto:info@espokes.co.uk">info@espokes.co.uk</a> or call 07771 927354</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Free Ebike Test Rides.</p>
<p>Come to our showroom in Basingstoke, our Wincanton outlet or we can even come to you.</p>
<p>Anyone who has ever ridden an electric bike will know what I mean about the ebike smile.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-1482" src="https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/LAJ_7193-300x211.jpg" alt="Ebike test rides - EBCO UCL 60 step-through TranzX mid motor" width="300" height="211" /></p>
<p>Even those of you out there who are still non-believers of the pedal assistance. I challenge you to not come back with a massive grin on your face from speeding away on two wheels.</p>
<p>At Espokes we could talk all day about the benefits and joys of riding an electric bike. We believe for you to truly understand the concept of pedal assistance – you need to try it for yourself, which is why we offer you free tailored ebike test rides on our demo electric bikes.</p>
<p>We are very lucky at our showroom in Basingstoke. We have a large amount of unlimited free parking and can accommodate everything from a bicycle right through to a horse box.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.espokes.co.uk/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-1486 size-medium" src="https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Espokes-unit-12-Basingstoke-04-300x111.jpg" alt="Ebike test rides - Espokes Basingstoke showroom" width="300" height="111" srcset="https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Espokes-unit-12-Basingstoke-04-300x111.jpg 300w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Espokes-unit-12-Basingstoke-04-510x189.jpg 510w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Espokes-unit-12-Basingstoke-04-150x56.jpg 150w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Espokes-unit-12-Basingstoke-04-768x285.jpg 768w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Espokes-unit-12-Basingstoke-04-1024x379.jpg 1024w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Espokes-unit-12-Basingstoke-04-1080x400.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>Located on a side road, we have a relatively traffic free area for you to test ride.</p>
<p>Those of you who don’t mind riding on the road and require a longer test ride, we have a nice little route we can take you on. Booking for the longer route is required in advance.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.espokes.co.uk/product-category/electric-bikes/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-1487 size-medium" src="https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/LAJ_6050-300x201.jpg" alt="Ebike test rides - Wisper 705se and RooDog Striker eMTB" width="300" height="201" srcset="https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/LAJ_6050-300x201.jpg 300w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/LAJ_6050-510x342.jpg 510w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/LAJ_6050-150x101.jpg 150w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/LAJ_6050-768x515.jpg 768w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/LAJ_6050-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https://www.espokes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/LAJ_6050-1080x724.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>Equally, you may be more comfortable in your own surroundings. Test riding on roads or tracks you already know. If you take a look at our range of <a href="https://www.espokes.co.uk/product-category/electric-bikes/?orderby=price">electric bikes</a> and tell us what your main use for it will be, we can bring a selection of various ebikes of styles and price ranges to your home.</p>

<p>With bases in Basingstoke and Wincanton, we are regulars of the A303 corridor. We can easily cover Hampshire, Berkshire, Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire.</p>
