Innovative eBike Commuting Solution Arrives in the San Francisco Bay Area
Capitola, California, May 17, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Velocity Commuting Solutions is all about encouraging a fun, healthy, and environmentally responsible way to commute to work.
Velocity Commuting Solutions is creating a new sales model in the bicycle industry. Their corporate-direct educational and test ride program provides companies with everything they need to show employees the benefits of eBike commuting.
Velocity Commuting Solution's approach will be able to get more car commuters on A2B eBikes than any current sales method in the industry. They will be engaging car commuters at their workplace and showing them how easy it will be to convert from driving a car to riding an eBike to work.
Kyle Langdon, A2B Business Manager
Advancements in ebike technology have made short-range (20 miles or less) commuting on an eBike a real alternative to getting in a car everyday. eBikes are not like ordinary bicycles. eBikes contain motors and lithium-ion batteries to add power to your pedal stroke. While they look and work just like a bicycle, certain models can reach speeds up to 28mph with just a few pedal strokes and travel up to 100 miles on a single charge. Hills on an eBike just seem to disappear. Advancements in technology deliver maintenance-free direct drive motors, hydraulic disc brakes, GSM connectivity, GPS security tracking, USB port charging, powerful lights for better night time riding, electronic shifting, and even a mobile phone application to control and fine tune performance. *
Adam Snyder, founder and co-managing member at Velocity Commuting Solutions states, "Traditional bicycles in the US are purchased primarily for recreation. eBikes, however, open up a much broader market opportunity for commuting. Most people live 15 miles or closer to work so getting on a eBike to commute becomes a healthy alternative to sitting in traffic everyday, something that most companies encourage and support.”
Velocity Commuting Solutions brings a mobile showroom directly to companies so that employees can test ride a variety of Swiss and German engineered eBikes from two of the leaders in eBike technology: Stromer and A2B. eBike commuting is on a significant growth curve around the globe. Velocity Commuting Solutions corporate-direct business model provides a greater level of education and exposure than traditional brick and mortar retailers.
Velocity Commuting Solutions will also match any purchase incentive a company wishes to provide its employees up to $200 (for an employee savings of $400). Employees can configure and order eBikes on-line. All eBikes are assembled and rigorously tested by master mechanics and then delivered, free of charge, to the employee’s home or office. Every purchased eBike comes with 12 months of free roadside assistance and free pick-up and delivery for all warranty service.
In addition to employee purchases, Velocity Commuting Solutions also offers a fleet purchase program for those companies who wish to provide a bike-sharing program on the corporate campus.
According to Kyle Langdon, Business Manager at A2B, “Velocity Commuting Solution's approach will be able to get more car commuters on A2B eBikes than any current sales method in the industry. They will be engaging car commuters at their workplace and showing them how easy it will be to convert from driving a car to riding an eBike to work.”
