Any pedestrian recently out and about in Newcastle might be familiar with the rush of wind that hits you when someone on an electric vehicle flies past. E-bikes, E-scooters and E-skateboards are nothing new, but bike sellers around town can tell you how they've advanced and increased in popularity. Locals love them.
Stephen Brown of Newcastle Electric Bikes on Maitland Road in Islington has been in business for 12 years. He says once you've ridden around the block on an electric bike, you wouldn't ride anything else. Physically, it's like a normal bike, but you go further because of the extra charge and you go more often because it's more enjoyable.
