Ansmann
THE ANSMANN FC-5 touts itself as smart, stylish and compact – the latter feature making it ideal owners of motorhomes, caravans, canal boats and houses made after 1980. When folded, the FC 5 is admittedly heavy enough to halt any non-Geoff Capes-alike from carrying it too far, but for storage it’s a winner. The easy-to-use torque wrench system means unpacking it is easy, while
the Marathon plus puncture resistant tyres will keep riders rolling and the Selle Royal gel seat will keep posteriors comfy. As Ansmann is a battery techexpert by
trade, it’s no surprise to see a high quality battery featured – providing 30 to50 miles of range on a single charge. Each battery pack can be recharged up to 800 times and come with a three year, peace of mind warranty.

wiring loom, the onboard command module diagnostics and the battery analysis functionality keep the range simple to service and repair. Claud Butler tells BikeBiz: “The superior service levels provided by the UK distribution partner Claud Butler mean you will never be left stranded should things go wrong. Where possible a next day replacement programme is in place to service the IBD network.”
