English Summer Rain

What a month we've had since our last shop blog post! First off we have now officially moved to 373 Cricklade Road, Swindon after a couple of months running between Swindon and Blunsdon. The shop is coming along now, the floors have been tiled, walls plastered and painted and we're moving on to giving the outside of a building a new coat of paint. We've been using a cherry picker to work on the outside of the building (as and when the rain gives us a chance to do so) and hope to have some branding on the building very soon.

As well as working hard on the new shop we've been out and about at some events such as the Bicycle Carnival in Lydiard Park and Green Transport Event in Bristol. Our bikes went down a storm at the events and we couldn't be happier with the reception we got!

This month you'll be able to visit us at the following events and try out a selection of bikes from Wisper, GoCycle, iZip, Juicy Bikes and more;

Summer Fete at St Phillips Church, Upper Stratton

Swindon Bicycle Carnival

On Saturday 2nd July 2011, we attended Swindon's Bicycle Carnival at Lydiard Park. The Bicycle Carnival is an event arranged by CTC and Swindon Borough Council aimed at getting people out on their bikes, dressing up and having fun! The Swindon Advertiser has labelled the event as 'a huge success'!

Our selection of demo bikes on the day included the GoCycle, Wisper 905se Sport, Raleigh Leeds and more from iZip, Powabyke and Juicy Bikes. We got a great response from everyone on the day especially all our first time riders and one gentleman even said he found the ride 'as addictive as alcohol', we just hope he doesn't mix the two! It was fantastic to see both younger and older people enjoying our electric bikes, especially when we had entire families taking the bikes for a spin!

Thanks to everyone that came out on Saturday (including those who helped out through out the day)!

Another Step Forward

As always its been a busy few weeks at the E-Motion store. The new store is really starting to come along now, we've finally removed the boards from the front of the building and we'll soon be giving the whole building a lick of paint. We're going to announce a launch date in the coming few weeks!


For the first time in years, 373's windows have been exposed! Now for Chris to start painting!

Raleigh Dover Experience - Customer Review

We got this awesome email from a customer and just had to share it!

"I have just completed my second return journey to work on my wonderful Raleigh Dover purchased from E-Motion and delivered by Mark last Saturday.

The first day's 8 mile ride in cool sunny conditions was a truly exhilarating experience, the ride was comfortable and easy. I used all the electric modes and all the gears to continue my familiarisation with my briliant bike and arrived at work feeling fresh and ready for work and after a 4 day weekend, that was no mean feat! Once again thanks for delivering my bike and for the
great experience." - Graham S.

We love hearing about our customers experiences and getting feedback on how we did so we can continually improve our service!

If you've purchased a bike from us recently (or even a while ago for that matter) please drop us a mail or get in touch and let us know how your getting on!
