Reviews and press reports
'It really extends the range of electric bikes'
A to B magazine's long term test report

Cycling Plus magazine cover CYCLINGPLUS Pick of the year
'If you're a cycling purist then my choice might alarm, but I rate it as a real groundbreaker. The Ezee Torq electric bike I reviewed in Cycling Plus 188 is a throttle-assist machine based around a hybrid style alloy frame. It packs an astounding zip into a relatively small front hub motor, powered by the latest lithium battery technology. If you're interested in getting a bit of assistance it's worth taking a look at the Torq. The version I tried weighed 25kg complete with lights, mudguards and rack, and accelerated to the legal limit of 15mph with real verve. Even better was the 30 mile single-charge range.' Richard Peace made the eZee Torq his Pick of the Year in the January 2007 issue of Cycling Plus magazine.

Scott Snaith, David Henshaw and Tim Snaith celebrate the victoryFirst winner of the Tour de Presteigne electric bike rally
The eZee Torq took on the best (and not-so-best) electric bikes to clinch victory in the hour-long race around Presteigne.

The Torq also won the 2007 electric bike rally and hill climb on Sunday 13th May

'What a great electric bike. The eZee Torq is super light and feels like a non-powered road bike. The 250 watt motor has amazing pull, it just keeps building up speed very smoothly to what feels like 20 mph. A very efficient setup that runs for many miles per charge (unlike those older, heavy eBikes). The eZee Torq is the bike rider's electric bike' reviewed by electric-powered-bikes.com

The Torq electric hybrid was selected for 2,000 mile Mississippi ride. The full story is due to be published in Quentin van Marle's forthcoming book.

Professional Engineering Magazine's review of the Torq

'I ought to thank you for the Torq bike I have been using. I am still amazed by the journey times I can maintain on it, its range and its power up hill. I live in Vale of Belvoir which is a delightful but hilly area. I can now cover long distances on quite rough paths and really enjoy the countryside and get some exercise, but without giving in and walking up the various steep climbs.

It is pleasant and by far the cheapest way to reach the local shops and post office. It will have paid for itself in fuel saved in its first 18 months of ownership at this rate. I've had a puncture or two but no mechanical or electrical failures, even in heavy rain. It is a quality product. Unlike most electric bikes it is quite OK to pedal when the battery is flat as well. I am really pleased with it and would recommend the Ezee Torq to anybody.'
Dr Dave Elliman, February 2007

'I received and have been using the Torq for a couple of days and am getting to work and back faster than commuting by train!'
Ian, August 2006

'I'm just writing to say how happy I am with my new Torq. I have been using it to commute for the last two weeks and I'm pleased to say it does everything you said. It manages to get up the long 10% hill with only minimal help from me. I have been getting 30 miles out of a single charge. As for the effort involved, the difference is like walking rather than jogging, yet I get there faster!'
Duncan, July 2006

'My usual commute of 1 hour and 15 minutes across London now takes 31 minutes. Brilliant.' Gareth, London

Ian Seager used a Torq prototype to cycle between London and Paris in September 2005, one of the first electric bicycles of any kind to take part in the Royal British Legion's annual Poppy tour.

 

'One of the most exciting machines around, quite unique. Gentle, refined, deliciously fast... very nearly the lightest electric bike we've seen, yet it comprehensively beat the flat road speed record, the mountain course record and the hill-climbing record. Could we really not recommend it?' A to B's eZee Torq review

    'This is the most brilliant bike I have ever ridden - the speed and lightness are incredible.' Richard, London, December 2006

    BBC News 'I'm amazed. I'm truly amazed! It’s absolutely excellent for the hills – I also found the throttle handy for some of the busy roundabouts on my route. It’s helpful to be able to move quickly when you’re in front of all those cars, the motor gets you on your way. A total revelation.' Chris Kelly's electric bike blog for BBC Bristol
