Notes to editor

Steve Woods, Guide at Saddle Skedaddle, said: “There's a misconception that electric mountain bikes are for people that need some extra help in the saddle. That couldn't be further from the truth.

“The reality is a lot of experienced riders are joining the ebike revolution because it helps them see and do more. Our new electric mountain bike range has been designed for mountain bikers who want to explore fresh terrain and experience some classic destinations in a brand new way.”
