Ben and Blake after the demo ride outside of the AED warehouse in Birmingham.

Continuing “We had the e-Bike all charged up and ready for him to ride. He actually bought the Blaupunkt e-Bike with orange and black graphics. His wife was with him and they’re thinking about buying her one also. They’re getting ready to go on a family vacation and having 2 e-Bikes will make it very easy to get around.”
