Applecross fisherman who switched to an e-bike in a bid to reduce carbon footprint
This week’s blog is a guest blog from a very interesting customer of ours, his name is Alasdair Macleod and he is local fisherman from Applecross on the NW coast of the Scottish Highlands. The area boasts some of Scotland’s finest landscapes and the best coastlines the UK has to offer. Alasdair is a local fisherman and he uses his Volt Alpine to transport his catch around the village.
