About us

Electric Bikes, Driven by Passion

Forwards Electric was born from our passion for bikes. It’s the electric bike division of Forwards, our custom bike brand built on craftsmanship, performance and individuality.

At Forwards, we pride ourselves on creating beautiful, one-off custom bikes. Expanding into electric bikes was a natural evolution, allowing us to channel that same passion into offering compelling alternatives to the car, without compromising on the quality of the riding experience.

We carefully select brands that share our values, combining thoughtful engineering, innovative technology and exceptional performance. From high-performance electric mountain bikes to premium speed pedelecs, folding bikes and practical cargo solutions, our range reflects the different ways electric bikes can transform how we ride and travel.

Carefully Chosen Brands, Exceptional Engineering

Our journey into electric bikes began with Stromer. After experiencing their bikes in Amsterdam several years ago, the idea of bringing this distinctive approach to electric mobility to the UK stayed with us. We waited until the timing was right, and today we're proud to offer fully UK-registered Stromer speed pedelecs, engineered to make longer journeys and everyday commuting a genuine alternative to the car.

Our range has since grown to include Tern, renowned for its innovative folding and cargo bikes, and Amflow, whose high-performance electric mountain bikes showcase the advanced engineering of the Avinox drive system. Each brand brings a distinct perspective, united by a commitment to thoughtful design, innovative technology and an exceptional riding experience.

Expertise Beyond the Sale

Our interest in electric bikes goes beyond the products themselves. We have a particular appreciation for the engineering that makes them work, from Bosch drive systems to Stromer's own SYNO Drive technology and the latest developments in Avinox.

Our background in custom bike manufacturing, combined with experience in the motor racing industry, gives us a different perspective on performance, engineering and attention to detail. We bring that same mindset to our electric bike sales, servicing and aftersales support.

Based in Southampton, Forwards Electric is built around a simple principle: the experience should be as good as the bike itself. From helping you choose the right machine to supporting you throughout ownership, we're committed to providing knowledgeable, personal service and the technical expertise to match the bikes we offer.
