Vello have designed a beautifully simple looking bicycle, which can be folded into a tiny package in seconds. Options include a titanium or chronology steel frame, a rack on the front, single speed, 10x speed, Schlumpf Drive, belt drive and a Zehus motor/battery combo integrated completely within the rear hub. The front fork, handlebars and rear swingarm can all fold independently to an astonishing 57cm x 79cm x 29cm too, so you can pop Vello into a taxi or tube, under the stairs at home or your desk at work (with or without the cover bag).

Steve McQueen owned the predecessor of our 2012 Pininfarina-designed Velosolex. Before the tyres were even pumped-up on our new ‘pedelec‘, two road racers appeared. One observed that it was electric and the other, that it was cheating… and so began the debate: are electric bicycles ‘cheating’? For those unfamiliar with the term, a pedelec is a bicycle with regular pedals plus a battery and motor. As you pedal, the motor adds a little assistance. When you stop pedalling, the assistance stops. It won’t drive on battery power alone: you have to make the effort to reap the rewards. They don’t… Read more →
Hiplok’s Solid Gold Secure D-Lock is the Hiplok DX. With the same wearable format as before, the DX+ adds a 1 metre long cable lock, for securing your frame, front and rear wheel in one go. The Hiplok clips onto your bag (or belt) rather than your bike, which is particularly helpful for commuters with lightweight folding bikes. The secondary cable helps to secure additional parts like the front wheel and saddle, plus a helmet. The Sold Secure Gold Award is the highest possible rating today. Specifications: Security Level: Highest Security Rating: Sold Secure Gold Award Components: 13mm hardened steel… Read more →

The MiRider GB3 is the hotly celebrated geared model in the line-up, upgrading the One to a Gearbox system with belt drive and hydraulic brakes. “The GB3 features a sophisticated crank-based gearbox system with a belt drive which allows the hub motor to stay at the rear, retaining excellent weight distribution, balance and the traction of the standard bike, without the adjustment issues of a traditional derailleur. The GB3 also benefits from hydraulic brakes, a large LCD screen with a phone charging port, lightweight pedals, a sports seat and wider bars for additional added stability.” Road.cc’s Electric Bike of the… Read more →
Availability: Today! For many riders, a single speed electric bicycle which can be folded away is spot on. Enter the MiRider One, which starts there! It offers the maximum speed and power permitted on British roads upon command, with a range of around 45 miles per charge, a rear shock absorber to soak up the bumps and responsive disk brakes. The battery is fully integrated within the frame too, so is both discrete and can be removed as desired. We really love the way the MiRider One tucks away the technology so seamlessly that it doesn’t look like an eBike… Read more →

Electric Bikes: It’s not Cheating, it’s Transport A bicycle used for the sole purpose of getting from A-B, is ‘Transport’. Priorities include an upright riding position, day-to-day practicality and suitable pricing. These models are destined to spend a lot of time chained up in public areas. Reliability is crucial and this includes relying on the bike to be wherever you leave it, 100% of the time. The electric bicycle has finally come of age. Battery technology is now truly affordable and ‘Pedelecs’ are a pleasure to go considerable distances on without breaking a sweat. As you pedal, they contribute a… Read more →
