Powabyke is a British importer of electric bicycles. Founded in 1999, the company was selling over 1,500 bikes per year by 2005 through a network of around 300 dealers including bike shops and motor accessory retailers. It has also branched out into golf carts.
Powabyke bikes and trikes are driven by a hub-mounted electric motor in the front wheel, powered by a removable rechargeable battery. The environmental impact of the battery is minimised through offering a refurbishment scheme.
Powabyke supports Park & Charge, who are launching an initiative to offer "park and charge" facilities for electric vehicles across the UK.
