ECO VOLTZ REFERRAL

“It was an absolute pleasure
and joy to buy the bike!”
“I went for a test ride on an electric
bike with Tracey from Eco Voltz. She
was endlessly patient, always positive
and offered total encouragement.
“At the outset, I was struggling
with balance. Tracey immediately
recognised that the bike was not right
for me and changed it for a different
one, which suited me perfectly.
This made all the difference and it
was so much easier thereafter.
“Tracey rode alongside me and
offered advice about gear changing
and getting the best out of the bike.
“The canal cycle trail is so lovely,
and it was a joy and pleasure to get
cycling again after a 14-year gap.
“Tracey made the experience
a sheer delight.”
Lynne Evans
