Metro Electric plc

Electric bike com­pany Powabyke EV are for­ging a unique pro­mo­tional deal with Evans Cycles, the pop­u­lar chain of bicycle shops in the UK which will be made avail­able to Saga online’s 70,000 registered users and 40,000 Saga news­let­ter read­ers.

A voucher has been designed so that Saga’s read­ers can down­load it from the Saga online web­site in September this year. By present­ing the voucher at an Evans Cycles shop on pur­chase of any one of Powabyke’s elec­tric bikes the cus­tomer will be allowed to choose £50 worth of cyc­ling accessor­ies from the shop floor totally free before they leave!

The Powabyke range includes the X-6 (six gear), X-24 (24 gear), XLS (low step through frame) and the Powatryke Cruiser – the elec­tric tri­cycle com­plete with shop­ping bas­ket! All the bikes achieve speeds of 15mph and have detach­able bat­ter­ies which can be recharged at the mains socket in the house.

On a single charge all the bikes in the Powabyke range can go on their own power via throttle con­trol for sev­eral miles – should you want to com­mute effort­lessly to work, go shop­ping without break­ing a sweat or if you simply fancy going out for a ride in the coun­try to get some fresh air.

Nick Child, MD of Powabyke said: “Saga is a lead­ing brand in its mar­ket and Evans Cycles have a net­work of shops that stock our range of elec­tric bikes – so this pro­mo­tion for fifty pounds worth of free bike accessor­ies on the pur­chase of one of our bikes was mak­ing the most of a set of good work­ing rela­tion­ships in order to give our new cus­tom­ers some­thing extra with real value.”

The offer will remain valid until 1 November, 2011 and is lim­ited to the first 200 bikes pur­chased with the spe­cial pro­mo­tional voucher. Also fea­tured in an edit­or­ial fea­ture in the September issue of Saga magazine is the Powatryke Cruiser elec­tric tri­cycle. Saga magazine has a read­er­ship of 1.5 mil­lion people.
