40 The Grove, Bristol BS1 4RB Tel: 0117 929 2151 Web: mud-dock.com Mud Dock has chosen to specialise in only one high-end brand of electric bicycle and that’s Trek. Having worked with them for over 20 years, they are confident in the quality of build as well as having Trek’s full backing on sales, maintenance and customer service. There are several models of Trek electric bikes on display and more available to order; from fully equipped commuter bikes to trail mountain bikes, weekend leisure and town cruisers. All with either Bosch or Shimano pedal assist electronic motors, giving reliable power and proven electronic systems. The most popular model is the Electra Townie Go! 8i ladies’ bike. It’s a classic American beach cruiser in its look, with the advantage of Trek’s flat foot technology frame. This, combined with a lower centre of gravity and 26” puncture-resistant Schwalbe balloon tires, makes for an upright and comfortable ride.
