Battery Charging
IoW Cycling
Isle of Wight Re-Charging Stations
The distance the battery on your electric bike will take you depends on how many hills you have to go up and local conditions. You can vary the amount of assistance from the motor and the amount of effort you put into the pedalling both of which extend the range of the bike.
Below is a list of business' on the Island which are keen to see the increase in electric bicycle use as part of keeping the Island beautiful and have agreed that "ebikers" can plug in while they visit as a customer.

Notes:
All places have agreed to offer access to a charging point to riders of ebikes. Not all venues have completed/returned the Questionnaire as yet. Ebikers will need to provide their own charger. There is a general expectation that, while no charge is made to access the charging point, the person using the facility will purchase some refreshments while their bike is recharging.
Cyclists depending on access to a charging point are advised to make contact with the venue on the day the ride is planned to check opening times (some are weather dependent etc.)
