Sponsored by ELECTRIC BIKES Ansmann opens Harlow showroom
Electric bike and battery brand quickly bolsters its electric bike operation with large scale facility, opened by Mayor of Harlow Showroom set to expand up to1,500 square foot in the near future
By Mark Sutton
ANSMANN HAS opened a 360 square foot showroom, distribution and service centre in Harlow, Essex. The grand opening, signalled by the
mayor cutting the ribbon, now gives dealers a trade counter and showroom to visit should they be interested in carrying any of the German manufacturer’s nine e-bike catalogue, which now includes an e-trike. Ansmann has previously made electric bikes on an OEM basis on mainland Europe, but has this year launched its own branded range for both men and women. Visitors were invited to test ride the
range at the opening, with many taking advantage of the sunny weather to try out the folding, mountain and hybrid bikes, all of which offer a three-speed power assist which engages once the rider has put in a few pedals. To arrange a meeting with an Ansmann sales representative, or a visit to the showroom, contact
lwood@ansmann.co.uk or call 0870 609 2233.
