Some stories aren’t about big life changes — they’re about something quietly becoming part of everyday life. For Anna, her VOLT Kensington electric bicycle has been exactly that.
“ I’ve had it five years, and there isn’t a day that I don’t love it with all my heart. ”
We meet Anna in Cockermouth, Cumbria, where her e-bike has long since replaced the car for almost every local journey.
Everyday Freedom, Without the Car
Living in a busy market town, Anna quickly realised how much easier life is on two wheels.
“It’s just so much easier than trying to drive around. You can nip to the shops… the supermarket, the doctors, anywhere like that.”
Avoiding traffic on Main Street is a big plus, but for Anna it’s about more than convenience.
“ It’s freedom. It’s just brilliant freedom ”
An E-Bike That Fits Seamlessly With Real Life
The Kensington isn’t reserved for special occasions — it’s Anna’s everyday transport.
“It’s my transport. I take it to work, to the shops, to the hairdresser — anything like that.”
And when it comes to practicality, Anna knows exactly what she loves.
“I like the basket, obviously, a lot.”
Whether it’s a quick stop or a bigger shop, locking up is easy, and carrying a heavy load isn’t a problem.
“You’ve got different speeds — right up to your power if you really want to rock up a hill with a very, very heavy bag of shopping, as I usually have.”
Choosing Electric (and Choosing VOLT)
Anna’s journey into electric bikes started with a simple email to her local bike shop in Cockermouth.
“I wanted an electric bike. They said I could come and have a little test drive.”
A short ride around town was all it took.
With access to a Cycle to Work scheme, the process was straightforward — spreading the cost monthly and benefiting from tax relief.
“I just got it through the cycle to work scheme and paid monthly.”
An Electric Bike That Everyone Notices
Anna’s Kensington didn’t just turn heads — it sparked conversations.
“I get asked a lot in Cockermouth where my bike’s from.”
Five years on, that love hasn’t faded.
“I’ve loved it ever since. There isn’t a day that I don’t love it with all my heart.”
For Anna, the VOLT Kensington isn’t just an electric bike. It’s independence, practicality, and everyday joy — all rolled into one.
