E Bikes NI are a small independent family run business run by the Scott’s specialising in the supply and service of electric bicycles in Northern Ireland and the border counties.

Keith’s love of e-bikes came out of necessity, he has always been interested in bicycles from a very young age and has spent many hours fiddling, repairing and modifying old bicycles. About 6 years ago, he bought a new carbon, top of the range road bike with the dream of becoming the new Bradley Wiggins. Suddenly Keith’s bubble was burst after the first 2 miles! He quickly found that this type of cycling wasn’t for him, the tight lycra, uncomfortable riding stance, competitiveness, breathlessness, pains in legs and bottom, fear of hills and distances. Keith found that cycling wasn’t pleasurable. Then the lightbulb moment, electric power!

Keith spent years researching e-bikes although they were not legal in Northern Ireland, Keith and Gwyneth travelled to the UK mainland on numerous occasions to investigate more about electric bikes and they even travelled to Spain to look at E-bikes and e-scooters in operation. E-bike technology is moving quickly as a few years ago, the majority of e-bikes had a plastic battery box on the frame and were not the most attractive, batteries on quality e-bikes are now integrated in the bicycle frame or rear carrier and look similar to their pedal powered cousins. 

Legislation was amended in Northern Ireland on 13^th May 2020 to allow e-bikes to be used legally on our roads, the first e-bikes arrived a few days after this. According to Gwyneth and Keith, along with 1000’s of e-bike owners, cycling is pleasurable when using an e-bike,the upright riding stance, no painful moments when climbing hills, no breathlessness, no distance is too far, cycling is enjoyable again and Gwyneth and Keith are great advocates of promoting electric bikes in our wee country. EBikes NI donated an e-Bike to Friends of the Cancer Centre for the Christmas Draw.

We are partnering with Sustrans in September 2021 hoping to promote electric bikes and have a day in Belfast allowing people test ride e-bikes. Keith says that no one can describe your first ride on an e-bike as cyclists always end up with a smile on their face and the words of amazing, brilliant and great are uttered.

Our range of electric bicycles at E Bikes NI include mountain, commuter, trekking, cargo and folding bikes from E-Bike manufacturers such as Oxygen, Wisper, Forme, Juicy, Neomouv and the very versatile Tern cargo e-bikes.

We also stock Reid electric scooters and Jorvic electric trikes as well as a range of helmets, pumps, cleaning products and locks. We stock high quality Lite Locks.

The majority of our e-bikes have Bosch or Bafang drive systems and we have a selection of bikes with rear hub motors and mid mounted crank motors.
