28th June 2010 Introducing the new BH E-motion Sport Max +
 BH's new award and race winning electric bike

E-motion Sport Max +

BH’s Emotion Sport Max + model won the race for assisted pedal bicycles at the Ever Monaco exhibition, which was held between the 25th and 28th March. This is the second consecutive time that the company has won this race, and BH again demonstrated that its electric bicycles are among the fastest and most resistant available.

BH’s Emotion bicycles are still winning prizes and gaining recognition. The latest award is the one that the company won at the prestigious Ever Monaco 2010 event. BH’s Emotion Sport Max + (KE87) model managed to beat the other bicycles in the sprint and resistance categories at the International Fair for Ecological Vehicles and Renewable Energies.

BH’s Emotion was the quickest model in the two 50 metre challenges it faced in the speed race. Likewise, the Emotion Sport Max + was also the most efficient model in the resistance section, where it faced a major challenge: going round Monaco’s Grand Prix circuit for two hours. The model that won in this category wasn’t the fastest bicycle – instead it was the fastest one that also consumed least battery power.

BH’s Emotion completed the circuit in a spectacular fashion, using just 30% of its battery’s charge. In fact, this was the model that sparked most interest among the large audience at the event and at BH’s stand, which was visited by approximately 2,000 people according to Miguel Dyer, BH’s Export Area Manager.

BH amazes the audience at Ever Monaco

The Sport Max + model, which competed in the two challenges, was the most successful model, although the general impression of the new Emotion range at the Ever 2010 event has been really positive. These new models demonstrate the great developments that have taken place in the area of electric bicycles, which we have been working on for three years”, said Dyer.

This isn’t the first award that the Emotion bicycles have won at the exhibition in Monaco. Last year the Sport (KE96) model won the first resistance challenge, which is why this new victory only serves to confirm that BH’s Emotion bicycles still provide a reference point in the electric bicycle market thanks to their efficiency, speed and comfort.

The E-motion Sport Max + is in stock now, exclusively at OnBike! [Click HERE to see more]

28th April 2010Tour de Presteigne 2010 - 8th and 9th May 2010 + 10th May Cycle to the Coast Ride
The biggest and best electric bike exhibition is about to take place!
Tour de Presteigne 2010

This is the fifth year of the Tour de Presteigne and each year its International reputation grows. It is now seen as THE most important date in the Electric Bike calendar.  This year all the most interesting manufacturers will be showing bikes at the Industrial Estate in Presteigne, Powys that is an ideal venue for people to try out all the latest makes and models from eZee, E-motion and more...
However, as previous visitors will know, the show does not just consist of displays of machines there will be plenty to do including a hill climb, a 15-20 mile Orienteering Treasure Hunt around the fabulous local scenery that will test people’s brains and cunning as well as their speed and endurance and of course the exciting finale at 3pm on Sunday, when there will be a fancy dress parade around the closed streets of Presteigne. This year a brand new gallery and café has just opened right in the middle of the site and this will be the venue for Saturday night’s quiz and musical entertainment. The site will be open  from 1pm to 7pm on the Saturday to allow stallholders lots of time to get there on Saturday morning and so that the exhibition can run on into the evening’s entertainment . On the Sunday, it will revert to its usual opening times of 11am to 5pm. This year there will be lots more participation by the regular non-electric bike community including stalls, a vintage bike parade and the fancy dress parade itself will be open to all cyclists.
Quite how this tiny Border town became such a leading player in the search for alternative low carbon solutions to the planets transport problems is a bit of a mystery, even to the events founder Pete Mustill, but it certainly is the place to be on May the 8th and 9th if you have any interest at all in alternative transport.

30th June 2009E-motion Sport Deluxe - Customer Interview
An E-motion customer is asked his views

OnBike Customer Chris recently purchased an E-motion Sport Deluxe and cycled back a couple of weeks later to let us know what he thought...

Chris's opening words were,
"I'd love a cup of tea with one sugar please"

We asked how he'd been getting on and he just smiled and said, "This is an outstanding machine!"

Experienced cyclist Chris has been riding bikes for years and has covered tens of thousands of miles on many bikes, but recently decided he wanted some help on the hills and to extend his range.
Chris told us he had shopped around and tried several electric bikes with the Panasonic system, but said, "The E-motion far exceeded my expectations". "I rode it home, from OnBike to Stourbridge, the day I bought it and unfortunately it was into a headwind, but on this bike it was a piece of cake"

Chris Continued, "It's a proper road bike. I've already covered 350 miles on it and pedalling with no power on is excellent - then you come to a steep hill, turn on the power and it really comes into its own... It really does"

Chris added, "I even took it along tracks and canals and it handled all the environments I came across brilliantly - There's no limit to what this bike can do".

We asked Chris about the efficiency and range he was achieving and he told us, "I went for a ride with the bike in low power mode and much to my surprise, I had covered 50 miles and still had one light left remaining on the battery!"
Chris continued,
"The bike's so light I ride it with the power switched off, like my old manual bike, and just turn on the power for any hills, so battery life is not an issue to me regardless of how far I go"

Chris finished his cup of tea, bought some oil, pointed to his bike and exclaimed, "This is the future of cycling"

Thank you Chris

 
11th June 2009National Bike Week
We get front page of our local paper supporting Bike Week

June 13th - 21st is National Cycle Week and it's time to shout about it!!!

Using an electric bike is the best way there is to break the car habit or get some fresh air and have some fun. The average car journey in Britain is 5 to 8 miles and every day people in Britain make millions of small journeys to work or the shops and back that could easily be non-polluting bike rides - during rush-hour, a bike is twice as fast as a car - great if you hate jams!

Electric bikes are also superb recreational fun - so with the assistance making hills and your fitness level no problem, what's your excuse?

Visit the Official Bike Week website and find an event near YOU: www.bikeweek.org.uk

OnBike have been supporting Bike Week - See our local paper's front page with OnBike's Pete on an eZee Sprint!!!

 
21st May 2009E-motion Monaco Triumph
E-motion triumphs at the first electric vehicle “Challenge” at the Monaco Grand Prix circuit

BH’s electric/pedal-assist bicycle easily surpassed the other Power Assisted Bikes at the 1st Two-Wheel Electric Vehicle Challenge held last Friday within the framework of the EVER fair in Monaco. The BH E-Motion bicycle completed 16 laps around Monaco’s emblematic circuit – 54km in two and a half hours with close to half of its Panasonic battery reserve left.

BH’s E-Motion bicycle was without rival at the 1st Two-Wheel Electric Vehicle Challenge held last Friday at Monaco’s F1 circuit. The Challenge was one of the events planned for the prestigious ‘EVER’09 (Ecological Vehicles and Renewable Energies) fair held in the capital of the Principality of Monaco and featuring the latest innovations in environmentally-friendly vehicles and renewable energies.

The E-Motion bicycle was the undisputed winner in the pedal-assist bicycle category after completing the two-and-a-half-hour event where 15 major pedal-assist bicycle brands competed, and 10 brands in the electric motorcycle category.

The bicycle model that competed was the E-Motion Sport (KE960). With its 10 Ah battery, it surpassed all of the other bicycles and even some of the scooters in autonomy and number of laps. By the end of the two and a half hours, it had completed 16 laps around the Monaco Grand Prix circuit (54km) with 35% of its battery remaining.

This result simply confirms the optimal performance of the Panasonic pedal-assist system used for E-Motion bicycles, ideal for both easy use in the city and more demanding bicycle tourism.

Throughout the event, the power source remained connected at the SPORT level for uphills, the ECO level for flat areas and downhills, and at the INTERMEDIATE level for starts and control points (3 per lap).

This was an important victory for both BH and the environment and demonstrated the efficiency and ease of the application of pedal-assist systems to bicycles.
