Cambridge Mayor John Hipkin Visits The Electric Transport Shop
John Hipkin paid us a visit in April 2006 to see why we have become the most reviewed and talked about shop in the city.
We had a selection of bikes ready for him to try just like we do for all our customers; and he quickly took the opportunity to have some fun.
It was a delight and of course an honour to have this visit. It was clear that the mayor had an interest not only in the technology involved in our electric bikes but in their potential to change our society for the benefit of health and the environment.
Still a keen cyclist at the age of 71 John became quite fond of one of our models saying that it would help him up Castle Hill at the end of a long day on his feet.

15/01/2011 ... Got an old broken eBike in the shed? Get it to us and get it repaired - the cheap and easy way! For the courier's fees we can collect and redeliver your bike using TNT. We'll diagnose the problem(s) without any further cost and will phone you to let you know what is required and the cost involved before going ahead with any work. Any bike sent to us is entirely at your own risk so please ensure it is properly packaged. The whole bike must be packed in a carton with the handlebars and pedals removed from the frame (easy - ask if unsure). If you need a full size bike box, we can send you one (folded up) for £15. Just ask. Please note that if you live within 40 miles of one of our stores then we would prefer for you to bring, and collect, the bike in person. This saves time, money and reduces the chances of damage in transit.
