Your guide to a healthier lifestyle
During the midst of the pandemic in 2020, parking fees for NHS staff were scrapped in order to ease financial pressure from those who risk their lives to protect us. Today, on the 30th March 2022, the Government announced that as of Friday 1st April, NHS worker's free parking scheme is to be scrapped. What does this mean for commuting figures, and how can we help?
Live, laugh, and love, this summer. In a world currently forcibly crammed with everything but, an escape is an absolutely necessity. We've recently stocked a range of Bestway's slightly special Power Steel Swim Vista pools, ranging in style, shape and dimension to suit a vast array of Britain's gardens.
After a tough winter of lockdowns and storms, no doubt you (like us!) will be wanting to get out in wide open spaces to get away from your four walls. How about getting a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) or kayak? As you will see, these are a great and low cost way of getting away from the stress and bore of life ashore, and can have good health benefits too!
The Electric Bike market in 2022 demands innovation and reliability, yet the current economic climate demands value for money... A tough combination, but we think the Protocol fits the criteria!
If you're a British motorist or cyclist, chances are you've heard that the Highway Code is changing as of January 2022. Now, while most of the technical lingo is lost on most of us, these alterations have been widely condensed into 8 key points, 7 of which affect cyclists, and they're changes that all of us should be aware of. So, what do these changes mean for the UK's cyclists?
Climate change is hitting and we all need to do our bit. How could buying an e-bike help? As we will discuss it could significantly reduce your transport emissions and ultimately help humanity avert the disaster that we can see unfolding. Carbon emissions from transport now account for 25% of the UK’s overall CO2 emissions. It’s not surprising that the government sees this as "low hanging fruit" - something that can be quite easily fixed.
The petrol shortages and rocketing price of fuel are hitting the UK hard, making normal everyday activities a challenge for us all. From taking the children to school, getting to an appointment on time, or simply driving to and from work, it seems we can no longer just jump in the car and drive to our destination without a worry. There's never been a better time to swap the E10 for an E-Bike!
When buying an Electric Bike from us, there are procedures and precautions in place to ensure that your item(s) arrive with you in factory condition, in fact, after our in-house assembly and once over, even better! We'd hate for this diligence to be in vain, that's why the care taken of your items once they leave us is incredibly important to us. We've recently joined forces with Arrow XL, "The UK’s largest and longest established two-person home delivery and warehousing specialist", to provide a trust worthy and customer focused experience.
With eCargo bikes proving deliver up to 40% more packages per hour than vans within Cities, and the Government investment toward cycling infrastructure due to be introduced, could it be time for your business to take the leap to an electric cargo bike fleet from E-Bikes Direct?

Not just for fleet use...if you have a small family and need a commute solution that ticks all of your boxes, why not get involved
As part of a wider multi-million pound investment scheme in active travel, the government has announced plans to raise awareness of E-Bikes and eventually ‘tackle barriers to their use’. Though we can’t be certain, here at E-Bikes Direct we know well that one of the biggest such barriers is how much they cost to you, the customer.
