Italian ebike brand Golden Ride enters the UK
Golden Ride from Italy is a company under Terravision Electric that sells and leases ebikes, electric motorcycles, and electric scooters. Recently, Golden Ride opened a store in London, England. The Terravision Group is in the business of developing new forms of in-store transportation. Its headquarters are located in Desio, near Milan, covering an area of 2,000 square meters with showrooms, shops and production workshops.
The London store will offer three e-bike models: the Terravision Electric Touring, the eBroh Carbon e-MTB and the higher spec eBroh Carbon+. More ebikes, electric motorcycles, and electric scooters will follow.
Niccolò Petroni, commercial director of Golden Ride, said that the London store in the UK is our first market outside of Italy, and we hope that these fashionable ebikes can be suitable for the UK. It will also bring our after-sales service model to the UK, which will help us build trust with our Italian customers. Golden Ride is offering 10% off all new vehicle purchases in-store or online, as well as a trade-in program for existing bikes.
The company says they will soon be opening their first workstation, Terravision Electric, in the UK. This will provide repairs for everyone, and not just the brands Terravision sells itself.
Terravision currently offers battery refurbishment services in Italy. Their description of this service is: replace the cells inside the battery and overhaul the related electronic components. They say the service can save up to 30% compared to the cost of replacing a new battery.
