Deciding how best to invest a pension pot cache is anything but childs play, whatever Gideon (Chancellor G Osborne) says. If you’re thinking: an extravagant party, a gold-plated smartphone, an endangered animal as a housepet, then just hold on a moment. Science has confirmed what we all knew deep down anyway -- that the key to happiness is to spend money not on possessions, but on experiences. So we thought we’d take a look at the most common windfall-spends to see which will provide the most (and best) experiences:

Like any revolutionary, zeitgeist changing mode of wonder-transport, the Electric Bike is subject to its fair share of stigma.
Electric bike riders have to contend with the accusation that their preferred mode of transport is cheating, their electric powered bicycle isn't really saving energy and the implication can be that the ebike rider is self-righteous for even bothering. But how do these myths hold up under scrutiny? Is it wise to invest? Read on:

Are electric bikes really eco-friendly? Electric Bike Mythbusters: Part One | are they really green?
Last time on Electric Bike Mythbusters, we tackled head-on a few of the unfortunate myths that make the lives of e-bike riders slightly more awkward every day. "Isn't that cheating?" bystanders ask; "Aren't you just shifting all of your emissions over to the power stations?"; "Did we really fight two world wars so you could ride around on a scooter while pretending to be a cyclist?"
We like to think that the above myths were well and truly obliterated by the previous article (and we're right), but alas, others remain. Here they are:

Red tape has been blessedly absent from electric bike ownership. Unlike most other forms of motorised transport, e-bikes don’t require registration, license plates or insurance, and anyone over the age of 14 can ride them legally in the UK.
Unfortunately, disparities between EU and UK legislation have long allowed for a ‘grey area’ when it comes to the specifics. Now (at long last) the Department for Transport has moved to harmonise Britain’s own electric bike laws with the rest of Europe. But what does that mean for me and you?

We love Kickstarter. Creative people present cool projects and anyone interested helps to fund them. Predictably, it's a goldmine for clever and beautiful bike stuff. Gadgets, accessories, apparel – all sorts of innovative products that might be deemed a bit too risky by the average board of directors. And since each project is the independent creation of someone like you or me, we can enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling of helping out an entrepreneur. Who needs middle-men?
We dove in to find out which items make the best fit for the enlightened e-bike rider:

The oil-flecked interior of an electric bike shop may seem an unlikely source of philosophical enlightenment, but this one has turned out to be a surprising basket of metaphysical revelations.

Juicy are pleased to be members of the British Electric Bicycle Association (BEBA), the UK’s leading representative body on e-bikes. There are all sorts of good reasons to get your e-bike from a BEBA member, but the best is this: you can be confident of a high quality bike with full, comprehensive aftercare. Since BEBA only offer membership to manufacturers with great reputations (and who meet their particularly high standard for customer care), you can treat the BEBA logo as a seal of confidence. Here’s the second best reason to go with a BEBA member (like Juicy): our special BEBA insurance policy that’s a cracking great deal. Read on. |

Fortunately for you, aesthetics are something else we can’t help but take seriously (vain as we are), so making our bikes beautiful has always come a close second. Introducing our new colour: Heath.It's a little known fact that as we mature our ability to perceive subtle colour shades improves. As we grow into our teens and beyond we develop a language of colour that is highly complex, very personal and socially, extremely important. |

Have you ever wondered why Lego® Bricks are so brightly coloured? Children only gradually develop the ability to perceive colour shading. Beyond the playground we rarely ask one another "what's your favourite colour?" - time's just too short for a grown-up answer. |

Properly inflated tires are the unspoken heroes of keeping a bike in shape, and your Juicy bike is no different. A bike with too little air pressure in its tires feels cumbersome and sluggish, as well as being vulnerable to punctures and damaged rims. Too much pressure and you’ll lose grip while turning, wear out your tires faster, and maybe blow out the inner-tube altogether. Get the air pressure in the sweet spot, however, and you’ll roll forward smoothly, turn responsively, and increase the lifespan of every part of your wheel. Fortunately for us, getting the right pressure is dead easy: | ![]() |

The Cycle To Work Scheme is a Government-backed initiative to encourage people to bike to their place of work. By purchasing your Juicy Bike through this scheme you can make big savings!
Your employer must first sign up for the scheme. Many companies are already signed-up and if yours has, the next step is simple...
Juicy Bike is already an approved supplier for this scheme, and all of our range is available and each bike approved. You simply need a quote from us to give to your employer.
Your employer pays for the bike and reclaims the VAT. The bike is then for your personal use and for qualifying journeys, (commuting to work). You can use the bike as you like without keeping any records. The VAT-free price is deducted from your salary over a period of time (typically 18 months), but as you don't pay tax or NI on the income that's deducted, you make further savings!
To get a Cycle Scheme quote from Juicy Bike simply click here. Full Cycle Scheme details are available to download here from GOV.UK.
