Well since I last posted business has been quite quiet. Bike sales are not as good as summer but still a few going through and we sold a 906 Alpino this morning. See photo on the left. Winter set in and came with snow and ice and the last was yesterday. Now petrol prices reaching £1.30 a litre. Not good for the motorist but good for the electric bike market! It looks like it will be a hard 2011 for most people while the economy recovers especially with VAT rising to 20%. Luckily most electric bike prices have remained the same and hopefully that will be a good incentive for anyone considering giving up their car! With car insurance now apparently rising due to Facebook posts of when people are going on holiday it is certainly making it much more expensive for the average motorist. When you add up all the increasing costs of motoring these days it really is surprising so many people are prepared to pay these costs. A good electric bike is not cheap but once you have purchased one that is basically all you need to pay. Charging the battery costs pence and should last at least 5 years before needing a replacement. Compared to the massive costs that add up over 5 years on a car there really is actually no comparison at all. Add your costs up by clicking the link below:
