I love the freedom of riding my bike anywhere. The steepest hill is
easy to climb, which expands my biking world. I bike to the grocery
store, the local pub, the pharmacy, and to run errands in areas I would
have driven before. Delight!

I have owned my Agattu now for over a year and it has now covered well
over a 1000 miles. I am 60 years of age (almost) and I can honestly say
that it has changed my life. I ride the last 5 miles to and from work
everyday. The journey embraces 2 major hills which I could never have
contemplated on a standard bike. I think 2 aspects of the bike are worth
underlining. First, you cover the ground so much faster than on a
standard bike especially if there is a wind. Secondly, you can use the
Agattu as a form of exercise bike, I normally use quite a lot of
assistance on the way to work so I don't arrive too hot and on the way
home I give myself a proper work out. Cheaper than a gym and far more
eco friendly. I love my Agattu.

For 33 years now I’ve used a bicycle around town, where I live and work. The bicycle came into its own about 12 years ago when I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. While I had to restrict my walking, use of the bicycle became even more essential for getting to and from work and around town. A couple of years ago however, I began to have difficulties cycling up hills or against the wind and I had to stop using the bicycle for a while. I purchased the provomec electric bike six months ago and everything has been transformed. Apart from using the bike for getting around town I’ve also started going on Sunday cycles, up by the new canal cycle pathway and down the Phoenix park. Overall this new bike has brought great improvement to my lifestyle, helping me to get around without causing joint pain and also giving me some vital exercise.
