Win! An electric folding bike

1:08pm Thursday 14th August 2008

Electric bikes are the new environmentally friendly and cost effective solution to commuting, and greenedgebikes are offering one lucky reader a chance to win a BLACKSTAR model.

greenedgebikes are simple to ride, easy to store and even easier to charge.

With living and petrol costs rising, and traffic and congestion charges increasing, greenedgebikes are ideal for travelling through parks and across towns and cities to work.

They are exempt from the congestion charge and neither tax insurance or a driving licence are needed.

greenedgebikes currently offer two models, both with lightweight aluminium foldable frames, that enable the e-bikes to be taken on train journeys, in the boot of a car, or folded neatly under a desk.

They are built to EU standards and can be used as a regular bike, with the ease of a normal bicycle.

They have a sturdy aluminium foldable frame, comfortable seats, efficient Lithium-Ion batteries and 20” (50cm) tyres for multiple terrains.

They have a gentle twist throttle, which will take you to 15mph, and give support up steep hills.

The battery has a 25mph range on a single charge.
