Simply the best all-round electric bikes you can buy

About 50cycles UK and our electric bikes and motorcycles

The best thing about electric bikes and motorcycles is the sense of freedom and control out on the road. It's amazing how much ground you can cover in a few minute's cycling. In the time it takes to get in a car and out onto the road, you'd already be hundreds of yards away on your electric powered bike.

You'll slip through stalled traffic, whizz along cycle routes and arrive at your destination exhilarated and ready for anything. Meanwhile, the car driver is either stuck in traffic or figuring out where to park. Or pouring change into the parking meter. Most journeys are well within easy range of an electric bike, so the motor car option begins to look a bit extravagant and wasteful.

50cycles Ltd only sells the most advanced and capable electric powered bicycles and motorbikes. These are some of the best electric vehicles anywhere in the world. They are reliable, practical and fun to ride, rewarding their owner's investment over and over again. That's why we are the official UK importer and distributor for Kalkhoff electric bicycles and accessories and UK MSR for Zero Motorcycles.

The latest additions to our range are the Kalkhoff electric bikes. Manufactured in Germany, they are light, comfortable, hgh electric bicycles, with very long ranges and great equipment. They use an updated version of the Panasonic brushless motor that made the Giant Lafree so popular and that is used in the more expensive and heavier Gazelle and Biketec Swiss Flyer electric bikes. The first Kalkhoff pedal assist bike to go on sales was the Kalkhoff Agattu pedelec, which is available in both gents and unisex (step thru) frames in a range of sizes. The Agattu is followed by the Kalkhoff Pro Connect Pedelec and Kalkhoff Tasman Pedelec electric bikes.

In April 2009 we sent a team to the world's first electric motorcycle endurance race in San Jose, California. Zero Motorcycles have developed the world's finest electric motorbikes in the shape of the Zero X electric Motocross bike and the Zero S Supermoto electric motorcycle. You can test ride each electric motorbike at 50cycles and save $50 on your Zero motorcycle order by using promotional code MSR-UK-0101.

Lithium-based batteries are now commonplace but 50cycles were the very first to offer them across our range of electric bikes and power-assisted models. Of all electric vehicles, from electric hybrid cars, the Segway, electric scooters and motorbikes, electric bikes offer the greatest flexibility and convenience, with few barriers to entry and great health and fitness benefits for all. Anybody over the age of 14 can ride an electric bicycle in the UK without a licence, insurance, MOT. Our electric bikes point the way to the future of green transport because they are thrilling, smart and fun.
