Media release: Edinburgh’s Electric Cycle Company has been super-charged
THE Electric Cycle Company (ECC), Edinburgh, has just opened its new 4,000 square foot, state-of-the-art electric bike store and workshop on Crewe Road North. It is believed the move makes it the largest specialist e-bike shop in the UK.
