EBIKE CAFE @ Deheers would like you to<br />
meet the Knaap two-seater<br />
Spring is in the air, and EBIKE Cafe @ Deheers on<br />
Custom House Quay, Weymouth has just become<br />
the very first local partner of the coolest and most<br />
innovative eBike in the cycling market. <strong>The</strong> Knaap twoseater<br />
eBike out of Amsterdam provides more people<br />
than ever before with the opportunity to use cycling for<br />
physical and mental health and wellbeing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> brand new Knaap two-seater, pedal-assisted eBike<br />
can carry up to 28-stone (180kg). This means that<br />
any type of rider, young or old, large or small, can now<br />
enjoy cycling with all the physical and mental health<br />
benefits associated with outdoor exercise. <strong>The</strong> Knaap<br />
bikes provide a powered motor in the rear wheel to<br />
give a level of assistance that helps the rider reach a<br />
maximum speed of 15 mph whilst gently spinning the<br />
pedals, meaning that almost anyone, of any level of<br />
fitness, weight and ability can ride these bikes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> great benefit of the Knaap bikes, in particular,<br />
is that they are road legal for carrying two riders,<br />
meaning commuting back into work could soon look a<br />
lot different. <strong>The</strong>y have the largest battery in the eBike<br />
industry; enough to carry one rider over 80 miles and<br />
two riders north of 30 miles at speeds of up to 25 kmh.<br />
Knaap Bikes were recently awarded the ‘Innovation<br />
from a Newcomer’ in Cycling Industry BikeBiz Awards,<br />
voted for by UK independent cycle retailers. <strong>The</strong> bikes<br />
have been described by industry insiders as “<strong>The</strong> most<br />
Instagramable bikes ever” and, in one glance, you can<br />
see they have combined retro with supercool, to appeal<br />
to every age group. <strong>The</strong>y even say, “If Steve McQueen<br />
was alive today, you could see him riding one of these.”<br />
If you’re looking for a cool ride around town that’s as<br />
good for your street cred as it is for the environment,<br />
then the EBIKE Cafe has the answer. With its clean lines,<br />
urban style and impressive features including a unique<br />
two-seater base, the Knaap bike has taken the eBike<br />
market by storm, grabbing the attention and custom of<br />
some of the world’s leading sports stars, leisure brands<br />
and entertainment names. Peter Claxton, Co-Owner of<br />
EBIKE Cafe, tells us more:<br />
“We are really excited to be teaming up with Knaap<br />
Bikes and giving our customers the chance to own one<br />
of the world’s coolest eBikes. I know the bike is going<br />
to be a big hit locally, among both our die-hard cycle<br />
