PRESS RELEASE
Bike Week 2010 With Gocycle
LONDON, June 23, 2010/PRNewswire/ --
Team Green Britain's Bike Week is underway and is showing the
nation that
cycling is not only good for the environment, your health and your
wallet,
but is a lot of fun, too. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, a commuter
or a
fair weather cyclist, the Gocycle electric bicycle is the easiest way to
enjoy the ride.
To watch Gocycle talk about the nation falling back in love with cycling, please visit YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIz21uL6hi4).
Gocycle is the first ever two-wheeler with a frame and wheels
moulded
from magnesium alloy, making it not only super light but extremely tough
-
perfect for urban cyclists who ride several times a week. It seems there
are
plenty of those: statistics show that we're currently experiencing a
17-year
high in the number of cyclists on the roads, with 42% of those being
commuters*. With commuting and congestion charges still prohibitively
high
for some, cycling is a great way to save money.
With electric power at the touch of a button, Gocycle is not only
great
for anyone who doesn't want to arrive at the office hot and sweaty, but
is
also perfect for beginner cyclists who are gradually building up their
stamina. With enough battery power to take you up to twenty miles,
Gocycle
can give you a boost if you're struggling uphill, or setting off from
traffic
lights. Gocycle's patented Cleandrive(R) system - combining a fully
enclosed
chain drive with the interchangeable and side-mounted PitstopWheel(R) -
makes
fixing a flat tyre easy, and office workers need not worry about getting
grease on their clothes.
Richard Thorpe, designer of Gocycle and founder of manufacturer
Karbon
Kinetics Ltd., said. "Team Green Britain is aiming to show that cycling
is
for everyone, and we believe the versatility of Gocycle can prove it. Of
course, being electric-powered means that Gocycle is also eco-friendly -
another reason for you to ditch the car."
Gocycle is available from GBP49 per month under the
Gocycle-to-Work(TM)
scheme, or can be purchased directly online at http://www.gocycle.com or
through a Gocycle Dealer**. MSRP GBP1,495
