I initially decided to buy an electric bike because I was getting sick of my daily commute on public transport. I’d been doing the same journey for 5 years and I felt it was time for a change. Another reason for buying the bike was because I live up the top of a steep hill and although I wanted to cycle to work I didn’t fancy struggling to get up it on a normal bike, especially if I have a bag with me. The Burlington gets me up it without even breaking a sweat, I couldn’t be happier with my decision to buy this fantastic bike.
The first time I came across an electric bike was at an Eco festival in central London and I was very interested so I started to do some research online. I looked at various websites and researched them quite a lot, at first I found all the information quite confusing but then I came across the Electric Bike Store and decided to give them a call.
They were extremely helpful and answered all my questions so I decided to book a test ride. At this point I was still unsure of what bike I wanted but when I arrived at the shop I fell in love with the Volt Burlington.
It’s a lovely classic look with a leather seat and handlebar grips and is very comfortable. Another thing I really liked was the fact that it didn’t look like what I thought an electric bike would look like - in fact most people who see it don’t even realise it’s electric.
I was very happy with the service I received and I’m very happy with my electric bike. I would recommend the Electric Bike Store to anyone who wants an electric bike.
