The company aim to produce electric bicycles that are as eco-friendly as possible causing them to look into every fine detail to ensure that the bicycles are a truly green mode of transport. Each bicycle goes through a three layer powder coating paint process which allows the bikes to have amazingly durable paintwork which causes minimal amounts of residue. Both bikes use a Shimano dynamo hub to power the Busch & Muller front and rear LED lights, this helps to ensure that you can always have your lights on when cycling without any concerns over replacing batteries.
The tires used for the bikes are high-end Continental TopContact puncture resistant tyres which feature a reflective strip. The durability of these tyres ensures that you will rarely need to replace them helping to save on the quantity of rubber that may have gone to landfill during the life of the bike. Due to the use of internal gears, the bikes require far less maintenance than a ‘traditional’ bike, maybe once a year rather than once a month. This leads to less need for cleaning agents and grease helping to save costs and help reduce the amount of chemicals released into the environment.
This fine eye for greener details is also shown in the choice of battery, the Panasonic batteries for the bikes use Lithium Manganese cells. These batteries allow a high-performance power output while being a better for the environment, as when it comes to disposal these batteries are easier to recycle than batteries that use NiCad, NiMH or even worse, lead-acid. Each bike also includes a Pletscher EasyFix rear carrier with spring hinges, this provides you with the ability to even attach a baby seat to the bike, helpful to those who for instance want to encourage their children to cycle to school, or for trips out to the park or in the countryside.
The Spencer Electric Bike is an electric bike designed to appeal to commuters due to its sleek style. The Spencer has a Selle Royal gel comfort saddle to help ensure you ride in comfort.

Due to the assistance the motor provides, the bike offers extra safety to your ride when dealing with busy roads, providing confidence whenever you need to pull away at junctions or roundabouts. The bike is exempt from the congestion change, helpful to those traveling around London. The Spencer can be purchased for just £1,895.
The Ivy has been designed to be a classic step through bike with a modern twist. The Ivy Electric Bike features Brooks aged leather sprung saddle and matching Brooks leather grips for added comfort with style. These traditional cycle touches help to give the Ivy a stylish look while providing quality modern technology to assist you in your journey. The Ivy can be purchased for just £1,895.
Both bikes use a high performance Panasonic 250 Watt brushless mid-mounted motor, this coupled with the Panasonic Lithium-ion 26 Volt 10Ah battery allow up to 50 miles of travel per battery charge. The removable battery is thought to cost only around 5p (£0.05) to fully charge, a great saving compared to fuel costs or even public transport. The silently operating motor allows you to pick from 3 different assistance settings, allowing you to control the amount of assistance you would like from the motor during your ride, letting the bike work for you as much or as little as you require.
