The Full Story
My name is Alex Green and it is my love of older bikes, especially 90s mountain bikes, that has driven me to start this business. There are so many high quality, durable bikes out there that are being left to rot or thrown away, while the bike industry is trying to sell you a new bike every year! To me this makes no sense, and I've made it my mission to save as many of these beloved bikes as I can!
Retro Electric
By converting these old bikes to electric bikes, it turns them into an incredibly useful form of transportation. You will be getting a higher quality product than if you bought brand new at the same price. These bikes have survived the past 30 years, they will last another 30 as well!
Refurbished
We don't just take an old bike and stick an electric motor on it, we also modify and improve it. This includes...
-
new cables
-
new grips
-
studded flat pedals
-
riser handlebars for more comfortable geometry
-
modern tyres
-
Upgraded V-brakes for extra stopping power
-
Not to mention the 1 year warranty!
The Bikes
We specialise in saving old bikes (the GT you see in these pictures was due for the scrapheap), this means they have had a past life and some have the scars to prove it. It also means they are unique, with history and character. They usually feature...
-
Strong rigid steel frame
-
Simple, easy to work on mechanics
-
Rack and mudguard mounts, perfect for commuting.
-
​Strong 26" wheels
