Some festive poetry!

We recently serviced a Wisper 905SE for Andrew Key, who lives in Wolverhampton. Andrew writes poetry in his spare time and has had some published.

As a special thank you, he gave us a poem he wrote about the joys of cycling!

'Bike Riding' by Andrew Key
Bike riding is good for your self
Less carbon emisions 
Costing less of your wealth

Bike riding is good for your health
Maintaining your balance
Dodging traffic with stealth

Bicycling keeps you fit
Alert and attentive
And doing your bit

Bicycling is lots of fun
Through countryside lanes
In mid-summers' sun

No one to tell you where to go
Or what gear to use
Either high or low

Whether it's pavement or road
Towpath or trail
You are the one in charge of the load

On yer bike has never been better
Ignoring the chaos
Whatever the weather

On yer bike is how to break free
Finding freedom of choice
And true liberty

Feeling Festive!

The Christmas lights are up in the PowaStation showroom and we're feeling festive!

As a Christmas special offer, Oxygen have knocked £100 off the retail price all of their e-bikes. The Diva in our showroom is currently only £1149! 
Hurry: this offer ends on 31st December, while stocks last.

Wet, icy or muddy conditions are a real worry to cyclists - a lady bought a set of puncture-resistant mountain bike tyres from us to fit to her husband's Wisper 905SE - a great Christmas present! Don't hesitate to contact us if you're looking for accesories or extras for your e-bike!

WINTER SERVICING
Recently, we serviced a Wisper 905SE and 705 from people in Wolverhampton, who bought them from a dealer at Halfpenny Green, since closed down. Both bikes are nearly 2 years old and are still performing excellently.

As well as a general check-up, the lady who owned the Wisper 705 wanted something to put the shopping in, so we fitted it with a wicker basket - instant retro chic!
We also serviced a Freego Eagle that was purchased from us in September. The customer is really happy with the bike and it sees a lot of regular usage, along canal towpaths. He says he usually gets 60 miles from a full charge!

NEW TO THE SHOWROOM:
Byocycles are a manufacturer we have just started stocking. They offer a range of excellent value bikes, priced between £699 and £1349. They come in a variety of styles, from folders to mountain bikes, to step-throughs with sophisticated hub gear systems!
Take a look at their website here.


Byocycles Chameleon 24 (£799)
A colourful addition to the showroom! Really well stocked, too:

- Folding frame for easy storage
- 10Ah lithium battery
- 3 levels of pedal-assist & twist-grip throttle
- Handlebar switch for lights & a very loud horn!
- Smaller, 17" frame and 24" wheels
- Front disc-brakes, rear v-brakes
- 6-speed shimano derailleur gears

We gave it a whirl outside the shop and were really impressed with its speedy but smooth handling!



We're very happy to receive any enquires, whether it's for Christmas gift ideas or.any other questions about electric bikes.

A busy October for PowaStation!

The nights are drawing in, the air is getting colder, but PowaStation have seen a surge of interest in electric bikes, since the NEC Cycle Show at the start of October.

As well as general sales enquiries, we've had people popping in, who have until now been using the pioneering electric bikes with lead acid batteries (8+ years old!). They were pleasantly surprised when they found out how the technology has advanced in recent years.

We are currently displaying the showroom's 3E Urban with G&P Campervans on the A51, so people can see just how convenient electric bikes are for attaching to the back of a vehicle and taking on holidays and trips.

SOLD THIS MONTH:


FreeGo Eagle City
A gentleman was interested in a bike for general road use, so we supplied him with Freego's top-range Eagle in beautiful emerald green: a robust bike with very zippy acceleration!
- 16Ah Lithium-Ion battery
- Handlebar console with throttle & 3 levels of pedal-assistance
- 7-speed Shimano derailleur gears
- Front & rear disc brakes




Wisper 706 Alpino
Sold to a lady who is a very keen cyclist, but needed an extra bit of assistance due to poor health. This is the very best step-through Wisper offer, boasting: 
- Sophisticated front wheel drive system
- LCD console with throttle & 6 levels of pedal-assistance
- 16Ah Lithium Polymer battery
- 8 hub gears 
- Front & rear disc brakes



Wisper 806 Alpino
A couple came into the showroom looking for a pair of folding bikes to take in the back of the car: they could do no better than the Wisper 806 Alpino! The battery is conveniently slotted under the rear parcel rack and 2 simple hinge mechanisms ensure that the bikes can be easily stowed away.
- Sophisticated front wheel drive system
- LCD console with throttle & 6-levels of pedal-assistance
- 9Ah Lithium Polymer battery
- 8 hub gears
- Front & rear V-brakes


NEW TO THE SHOWROOM:
Oxygen Diva (£1249)
A great commuter bike. Its smaller, 17" frame and lower cross-bar means it is perfectly suited to people of smaller stature. With an adjustable saddle and front fork suspension, the Diva is an electric bike built for maximum comfort.
