Online e-bike retailer aims to become North's biggest with launch of Yorkshire showroom
An online electric bike retailer has announced that it is opening a new store and showroom in Yorkshire.
Manfirth, which is the region’s largest seller of e-bikes and e-scooters, launched during lockdown and was selling £120k of product within three months.
The showroom will also offer a full range of retail, repair and servicing facilities.
The new store will open next week in Holbeck, and the company is aiming to become the biggest e-bike retailer in the North, with plans to roll out across the country.
Will Pugh, one of the entrepreneurs behind ManFirth, commented: ““After seeing a growing trend on Instagram and as a fan of ‘boys’ toys’ we quickly saw a gap in the market for ‘E-scooters’ aimed at the 20 – 30 male.
“Within weeks of launching online, the response was phenomenal, and within three months, we were selling £120k worth of e-bikes and e-scooters from a lock-up.
“Our ambition is to be the largest e-bike and e-scooter retailer in the North of England.
“To date, all our sales have been online, so opening the store is a huge achievement and milestone for us.”
