New e-bike is light on the Pocket
V’Lec and Batribike have combined to bring one of the lightest foldable e-bikes ever produced to the UK. Not only that, but the V’Lec Pocket+ is also light on your pocket, retailing for just £999, almost half the cost of comparable products in the market.
This newest addition to the UK electric bike market has been brought over from Europe by leading UK e-bike distributor, Batribike, as there was nothing available in the UK which combined a lightweight foldable design, with a price point that makes it an affordable option for those with a more limited budget.
Sue Coulson, Director at Batribike said, “The new V’Lec really filled a gap in the market. There are lightweight bikes, there are foldable bikes and there are affordable bikes, however, this is the first product that successfully combines all three into one product.”
With a discrete yet powerful Panasonic battery concealed within the frame, the innovative design is both balanced and functional. The V’Lec range uses quality components to produce a folding electric bike that is both very strong, and simple to fold and store. The Panasonic powered motor gives assistance to the rider at the flick of a switch with battery charge levels easily seen on the handlebar display.
Many motorhomers with limited payload have previously found electric bikes too bulky and heavy. The removable, clip on clip off, pedals make it a very slim package when folded, giving many users the opportunity to carry two electric bikes where previously even one was not possible.
Available at independent e-bike and bike retailers across the UK, the new V’Lec Pocket+ electric bike costs just £999 RRP. The Pocket+ can reach between 15 and 18 miles on a single charge, and weighs just 10.6kg including the battery. Built with a strong Aluminium alloy frame, it has a single speed pedal system and 16-inch tyres. Its lithium Panasonic 24v 8Ah cell battery takes 3-5 hours to charge and drives a 160W front wheel motor.
