Winkworth Go Green with Gocycle®
Winkworth estate agents across the Capital are ditching their cars in favour of Gocycle – the world’s lightest production electric bicycle.
With 56 offices and over 225 agents in London alone, Winkworth will trial a fleet of 20 Gocycles in order to evaluate a more time and cost-efficient method for estate agents to conduct viewings of properties and to help reduce their carbon footprint.
Will Yule, Director of Winkworth’s Knightsbridge office, said, ‘On average, a Winkworth estate agent will make eight journeys by car each day and could spend many hours behind the wheel as he or she notches up over 30 miles conducting viewings and valuations every week. In the current challenging economic environment, using Gocycle as a transportation method offers a more relevant and greener mobility alternative to operating a fleet of cars.’
Those trialling the new bikes can’t stop raving about them and a number of our agents have already said they’ll be purchasing their bikes straight after the trial. It is our aim to get at least one GoCycle bike in all 79 of Winkworth’s UK offices, as part of a new initiative to cut our negative impact on the environment. So, keep an eye out for those suit-clad agents wizzing around on their electric bikes in a town near you!
Designed, developed and assembled in the UK by Karbon Kinetics Limited, Gocycle is the lightest electric bicycle in the world and offers customers on-demand power, portability and style for a no-effort, no-emission and low-cost commute.
‘You don’t often find something that is exciting, fun and healthy that also saves you time and money. But that is exactly what riding Gocycle even one day a week will deliver,” says Richard Thorpe, KKL’s founder. “And the Gocycle-to-WorkTM scheme will allow Winkworth employees to purchase a Gocycle at half the Recommended Retail Price via affordable payments of £49 per month.’
Gocycle is now available across the UK. Customers can purchase Gocycle through their employer on the Gocycle-to-Work scheme or directly from www.gocycle.com. Alternatively, customers can visit one of Gocycle’s many Certified Dealers nationwide.
