Meet Simon… Simon came to us looking for an eBike after test driving a friends bike. He has ridden over 7000 miles and tells us all about how his eBike has changed his life.
The bike he talks to us about is his Trek Powerfly 7, which he purchased from us at Saddle Safari in Marlow, Buckinghamshire.

I’ve bought so many people in here who purchased from here because of they’ve seen I’ve had a positive experience in not just purchasing but you know it’s changed my life I’m Simon Hammond and uh I ride a Trek powerfly 7 so I’ve been playing rugby or had been playing rugby since I
Was 18 years old and and then I played rugby for Marlo up until about 2010 typically an old injury prevented me from continuing any further and uh I became quite quite inactive um I was over about 22 and a half Stone which really is not healthy and uh I can just
Remember the moment it was on a Sunday morning a mate of mine cycled down and uh I met up with him and this was in April time of last year electric bike and I thought I don’t know what triggered it but I just said can I have
A go on your bike and he said well of course you can and I cycled up a lane uphill and I thought this is nothing like I remember cycling to be and uh you know within literally 2 or 3 minutes I knew I had to
Purchase one and it was as quick as that I decided to buy locally on a recommendation and uh came down in uh May of last year picked up my bike in June and I’ve been cing ever since what I’m very fortunate enough to do is of uh
I live about 10 miles away from Marlo near stoken church I live in a small village um but what I didn’t realize though was that there were a number of other people who also were cycling who I knew but I was blissfully unaware that they had e bikes as well
And you know looking at the demographics the people that I currently cycle with you know you’re talking about people in the mid-50s to the mid ’70s and uh you know I found that exercising more setting goals and challenges I started to lose weight oh KY I’ve I’ve lost
About six six and a half Stone since uh June of last year and that’s sort of an 18month period so this is my time machine this is my gym this this this this is this is uh yes this is going to put years on my life the more I
Sort of uh researched it uh yes you could go and and you know beat down and and buy pure on price but it’s the after sales which is the key thing buying the bike’s the first thing buying the bike isn’t the end of it it’s actually the
Start of the journey you know these bikes do need maintenance be it an electric bike be it a push bike you do need to have the maintenance you need to have that relationship there you’re not just sort of a uh sort of an inquiry over the phone when you walk into the
Shop you I I get a genuine welcome and interest as well and I think it works both ways so I think that’s what you’re buying into as well well it’s the level of service and you can’t do that from an online purchase I think to to get in in
My particular case an ebike it’s not uh it’s not a cheap purchase however it it can change your life and it has changed my life and don’t tell the wife I think I’ve got to go for uh full suspension bike as well so just don’t tell her
