Electric Bikes (e-bikes)
E-bikes are a great way to get around efficiency to visit the shops or commute to work. If you want to reduce your carbon footprint and do more 'Active Travelling' try cycling on a push bike or splash out on an e-bike.
The Midland Electric Bike Centre is located in Leicester City Centre. They are currently only contactable via email for servicing and for purchasing e-bikes and accessories during the covid-19 pandemic, however they are providing an efficient service to work as near to 'business as usual' as much as possible.
