E-Bike conversions and E-Bikes

Turn your beloved bike into an e-bike

As of April 2023, we have become an official demo centre for Swytch e-bike conversion kits and an authorised supplier/demo centre for Boost E-bike conversion kits.

Most bikes (but not all) may be converted to electric assist using one or the other of these two kits. Contact us and we’ll come and assess your bike’s suitability.

Prices for the kits are around about £700, fitted by us and fully tested. This price is not fixed, it may vary due to the specification required by your bike, but it’s not far off. It’s a cheeeper way of having an E-bike using the bike you already have.

There are much cheaper options available from various suppliers on the web but some of those are of inferior quality, have poor technical support and, worryingly, can be a fire risk.

Why buy an electric bike?

Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles (to give them their proper title) allow the user to ;

  • travel efficiently on local journeys of a few miles.
  • see more countryside for the same effort as on an ordinary bike.
  • park easily in the town centre when going on small errands.
  • continue enjoying the outdoors without worrying about steep hills on favourite routes as time progresses.
  • get easy, gentle exercise.
  • become fitter and burn more calories.
  • lower their carbon footprint.
  • HAVE MORE FUN!

They are very cheap to run and may even replace a second car…


Planetary 14 Bikes is the authorised supplier and service agent for WISPER Electric Bikes and also VOLT Electric Bikes covering North Northumberland and the Eastern Scottish Borders.

Wisper is a British company that have been designing and supplying electric bikes since 2005. They are very good value for money, with prices starting around £1,500.

One of their features is that they have the great advantage of not requiring any software updates. Some other brands do require them, sometimes yearly, and are usually chargeable to the customer.

We usually have 2 demonstrators in our possession which we will bring to your home or place of work so that you may have a test ride on the roads familiar to you.

Another splendid range from a British company that has been going for over 10 years, VOLT offer both hub motor and centre drive variants at reasonable prices. Covered by a 2 year warranty, they are simple to operate and reliable.

VOLT e-bikes are available through V12 finance via the VOLT website.

If you live in Scotland they may be purchased on a 0% loan via the Energy Savings Trust, for more information, again, go directly to the VOLT website.

If you order any bike directly on the VOLT website, tell them you want it sent to PLANETARY 14 BIKES for assembly, PDI and ‘last mile’ delivery. That way, we get to look after you…


Call or text 07546 937700 or, alternatively, send us an email to book a demo.

We are also local delivery agents for the brand of Powabyke

A purchase may be made directly from the Powabyke website and it will be delivered to us. We will assemble the bike, test it, then deliver it personally to your home. We take the time to explain the operation of the bike and give advice as to its use and care.

6 weeks after delivery, we will come back to you (by appointment) and give the bike a check over to ensure that it is functioning as it should. We are a telephone call away in the unlikely event that any problem arises.

Any warranty work / servicing required will be carried out by ourselves.

Go to  www.powabyke.com  for details of their range.
