Electric bikes, or e-bikes, break the mold of conventional transportation. An e-bike isn't just a bicycle; it's a practical two-wheeled marvel fitted with a motor activated by either pedaling or a convenient touch of its throttle. Responding to the growing demand for sustainable and efficient alternatives to traditional transportation, e-bikes have ascended in popularity, establishing themselves as the preferred choice for many.


Amidst the rising tide of e-bike popularity, one brand stands out as a beacon of innovation and style – E-Champ Tech. Founded by Jeff Collins, E-Champ Tech hails from Olney, Buckinghamshire, bringing a unique blend of classic British design and cutting-edge technology to the forefront. The distinctive fat-tyre electric bikes, with a 250-watt Bafang motor and a detachable battery, are more than a mode of transportation — they represent a zero-emission mobility solution that effortlessly blends style and substance. 

Despite the local feel of the company, E-Champ's global presence is undeniable. Their bikes have become the ride of choice for clients ranging from Formula 1 drivers and international rugby players. As the brand prepares to deliver a limited edition '31' model for the 2024 F1 season, E-Champ Electric Bikes cements its position as a global leader, steering the world towards a greener and more exhilarating future.

Craftsmanship and Design:

The journey of an E-Champ bike begins in a small factory nestled in Buckinghamshire, England. Here, each component is meticulously crafted, with frames expertly fashioned from British steel through precision welding, backed by a lifetime warranty. The team's attention to detail extends to the painting process, with every bike receiving a custom finish, offering clients a spectrum of color options. But it doesn't stop there; a dedicated in-house detailer spends two days on each bike, ensuring it aligns perfectly with the client's vision.

Innovation Under the Hood:

Elevating the cycling experience to new heights, E-Champ Electric Bikes has meticulously designed their bikes with top-notch components that redefine performance. Braking systems from Hopetech, globally recognized for their hydraulic brakes and air discs, ensure a responsive and reliable ride. The durability of the bikes is enhanced by stainless steel super-strong alloy wheels, guaranteeing a smooth journey in various conditions. These electric bikes are equipped for any adventure, with entirely waterproof components allowing riders to confidently navigate diverse terrains. Powered by Bafang motors, leaders in electric bike technology, E-Champ bikes feature five modes of electric power. The detachable batteries, requiring only four hours to charge, provide an impressive 50 miles of seamless transport.

The team is also breaking new ground with an exciting partnership with Hindsight, the avant-garde rear-view cycling sunglasses brand. This collaboration brings together two industry leaders committed to innovation and enhancing the cycling experience. Hindsight's sunglasses offer cyclists an unprecedented 360-degree view of their surroundings, redefining safety on the road. With cutting-edge optics and ergonomic design, this collaboration marks a significant step in E-Champ's mission to provide a safer and more enjoyable cycling journey. Stay tuned for the official launch, promising a new era of cycling innovation where safety, style, and advanced technology converge seamlessly.

Diverse Models for Every Rider:

E-Champ currently offers three distinct models — the 66, the E-Champ RAW, and E-Champ JPS. The 66 model, available in British racing green, Silverstone racing silver, or Laguna Black, starts from £4,990. The JPS models, inspired by the iconic JPS Formula 1 car, are painted in Black and Gold. For those seeking an entry point into the E-Champ experience, the RAW models, available in orange, grey, or ivory, offer an accessible introduction. RAW stands as the entry-level superstar, a superb single-speed bike developed by their own technician. With no derailleur gears, riders can simply press the throttle and go or enjoy pedal assist, making it a perfect starting point for beginner clientele.
