The Gtech eBike cleverly boosts your pedal power whenever you need it; hills will feel flatter, you’ll be able to explore further and arrive fresher.

Boost your pedal power

At the heart of the Gtech eBike is our latest Lithium-ion battery, the same lightweigh­t, high performanc­e technology that is used to power electric cars – giving you a range of 30 miles. Plenty for a day’s adventure or most trips to work and back. A built in computer continuall­y measures your pedaling, smoothly adjusting the power delivered to the maintenanc­e-free motor, giving you a boost when you need it. Everything is automatic; if you pedal, the bike will help you up to 15mph, but you can pedal harder if you like and go faster. You will feel its power most if you reach a hill and start to slow down.

Pure simplicity

Riding the Gtech eBike is very simple, you pedal to go faster and brake to slow down. There are no confusing gears and the oily chain has been replaced by a clean carbon belt drive as used on high-performanc­e motor cycles. The battery easily removes from the frame for charging. A mains charger is supplied, which will fully recharge the battery from flat in just 3 hours. The eBike has an easy to read LED display, to tell you how much charge you’ve got remaining. You can choose from two cruising speeds at the touch of a button, or turn the power off to ride it like an ordinary bike.

Aviation grade, lightweigh­t Aluminium frame

The frame of the Gtech eBike is made from the same material used in modern aircraft – light, strong and designed to last. The aluminium alloy is also rust resistant, capable of withstandi­ng the elements whether you are using the bike on roads or country paths. Thanks to its lightweigh­t constructi­on, the Gtech eBike weighs 16kg, so you can ride it easily with or without the power turned on.

Save money. Save time.

The average cost of a car is £3,500* per year, and the average cost of a London travel card is £1,800 per year. Δ The Gtech eBike costs less than 4p† to charge, and there’s no road tax or insurance to pay. You’ll also be out there, getting fitter, rather than stuck in a traffic jam or on a crowded train.
