Cost Effective Economical transport
Today more than ever, people are thinking of ways to reduce their carbon footprint and also reduce their day to day expenses, such as travel cost.The running cost of a Powabyke is incredibly low: about 1.5 pence per mile. With a range of around 20 miles per charge* and a regulated top speed of 15mph, you won't even need a licence** to ride it. And parking is free! People who never thought they would ride again are riding to work, school, college, the library, the local shops and even to the local pub!
Don’t forget that X-byke qualifies for the government's 'Cycle-to-Work' scheme, meaning that you will be allowed to purchase the bike and offset the cost against your income tax, making a saving of between 20-50% dependent on your tax code. Your employer would then make a saving of around 12% of the National Insurance they would usually have to pay.
Powabyke's purpose-designed electric bikes offer all the benefits of traditional cycling - the freedom, the convenience, the practicality - but with an important difference: none of the effort. That's because you pedal only when you want to. The rest of the time, you can let the 250W motor take the strain.
X-byke makes it effortless for people to cover greater distances, take control of their travel and do their bit for the environment. The new range is designed with these needs in mind, combined with state-of-the-art technology, providing a super-efficient, trouble-free, reliable, intelligent and affordable method of transport to take on the modern world’s challenging urban environment.
It’s fair to say that in the past electric cycles haven’t had style on their side, with large, bulky frames and heavy batteries making them clumsy and awkward by nature. In comparison the new X-bykes look and feel like a well designed mountain bike, bringing all the benefits of modern cycle technology with the added bonus of a 250 w motor powered by a compact Lithium Lite 36v battery. At a glance you wouldn’t even realise the X-byke was an electric bike at all.
The battery is cleverly designed to slot into the water bottle holder and weigh just 2.5kg which not only removes the main weight barrier of other heavy electric bikes, but if desired allows the rider to easily carry a spare - therefore doubling the range.
Founded in 1999 and having sold over 30,000 electric bikes in the UK and overseas, Powabyke have focused their efforts for the past 10 years on overcoming the problems traditionally associated with electric cycles. With a modern, smart, lightweight design, the whole bike, complete with battery weighs under 25kg compared with early electric bikes which weighed close to 40kg. With a sleek frame the new X-byke is easy to lift, store and transport.
The X-bykes give the rider a range of about 20 miles in PAS mode – a viable, efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to the car that allows the cyclist to cover greater distances with ease .
