Super Soco help key worker ride
Electric bike firm step in to help key worker bike theft victim
It’s nice to be able to report some good news on this page and that’s never been more true than during the coronavirus lockdown.
Last week we brought you the story of dementia care respite worker, Keith, who had his Kawasaki ZZR1400 stolen from outside his house, leaving him unable to get to work. Electric bike firm, Super Soco heard of Keith’s plight and they’ve delivered him a TC Max from their fleet to tide him over until he can procure a full-time replacement for the Kawasaki with his insurance payout. “How nice is that? They drove all the way from London to deliver me a bike and help out,” Keith said when he spoke to MCN after the bike arrived.
“I had chatted to some of the big dealers around here and noone was able to help.”
‘We want to help as much as we can’ RICHARD JORDAN, SUPER SOCO
Keith is still off work because his daughter is ill, but he has made a trip to the shop for essential supplies on the bike and was quickly spotted by people who had seen his story online. “They’d never seen an electric bike before and they knew exactly who I was because of the story. I’d never ridden an electric motorbike before, but it’s fun. I locked up the rear the first time I tried to pull the clutch and realised it was a rear brake and I nearly ran a woman and her dog over because she didn’t hear me coming, but it’s very impressive.” “I saw Keith’s story on Facebook and got in touch,” said Super Soco’s Richard Jordan. “We want to help as much as we can during the coronavirus pandemic, we’ve got a lot of vehicles that are usually out on demos with dealers and there seemed no point for us to have those sitting around in the workshop if we can get them out and get them working.” Keith’s insurance has paid out and so he’ll be back on his own wheels as soon as he can but it will be tricky to complete a bike purchase until lockdown restrictions have been lifted.
