Dave Allen

SALES DIRECTOR

I have been a professional magician for over 25 years, performing all over the world at private events, parties, cruise ships and theatres.

Always a very active person and have been a very keen cyclist since I was a child, I have participated in the London to Canterbury ride as well as the London to Brighton.

When the pandemic hit and the national lockdown in March 2020, all my entertainment business disappeared!! (forgive the pun).

I decided that I wanted to create a new business, so sharing a love of all things bike with my father decided to create Allen’s E-Bikes.

The E-Bike was a revelation for me, I had started to notice for a long while now, as I get older that my knees were not what they once were, and after a short while of riding a traditional pedal bike, that not only my knees were in pain, but a lot of my joints and back. When I first hired an E-Bike whilst on holiday, I was amazed at how long I had been riding and had no pains at all, yet I still felt energised from the exercise.

I believe that E-Bikes are the future, they are for everyone, young and old, once you try one out on a demonstration ride, I’m sure you will agree.

I am very passionate about bringing you our lovely customers the best prices and the best products, i have deovoted all my working hours and downtime to learning everything about E-Bikes, and completed many courses, including a certified cycle mechanics course.

I truly feel i’m an E-Motion Expert, and i personally test all our bikes before we agree to stock in our showroom, so you can buy with confidence as its also backed up with the best service and warranty.

I can’t wait to meet you in our showroom, maybe I’ll even show you some magic, if you ask nicely.

Mike Allen

FINANCE DIRECTOR

I have been a successful business man for over 40 years, having owned and run companies. I have always strived for excellence in whatever I undertake.

When lockdown happened and I saw how this would effect Dave’s entertainment company I suggested that a business of the future would be E-Bikes. We then discussed the options of starting this venture.

My serious cycling started in 2017, having not cycled for about 25 years, I decided to take it up again, I went straight in the deep end and competed in the London to Brighton Charity Bike Ride. I completed the course in just over 5 hours. I had officially retired a year earlier.

In 2006 I had a realisation that I needed to lose weight and get fit, over the next 18 months I lost 4 stone and increased my fitness to a high level.

3 years after retiring and now a regular gym attendee I decided to train to become a Personal trainer as well as gym and indoor cycle instructor. I qualified in August 2019. I worked at Pure Gym until the lockdown and had taken various classes including spin and circuits. I took a 3 hour class for Sports Relief, and took the class for the whole 3 hours.

I have since ridden E-Bikes and am so impressed with their capabilities. I consider myself exceptionally fit for my age and find the challenge of a heavy incline a huge challenge and having the ability to choose the level of assistance gives me the freedom to tackle even more extreme hills, and go further for longer.

I am very excited to bring my passion and knowledge to Allen’s E-Bikes.

Andy Griffin

SERVICE MANAGER

I have always followed my passions, and Bikes have been a part of my life from a very young age. I was always tinkering away in my Dads garage (and most probably getting in trouble for doing so). Most of my early adult life was spent riding BMX or fixing the damage I had caused. I spend a lot of time hanging out at the LBS in town dreaming of building my perfect ride and bothering the owner.

I followed another passion for my most of my life and was lucky to be a full-time musician and travel the world doing so. A lot changed and I found myself back in Leighton Buzzard. I stumbled upon a job listing for a new and exciting E-Bike shop that was opening. I thought back to my earlier years and decided this was my next adventure.

Having been a part of the Allens e-bikes family from the beginning, I have seen the business grow into something special. I am proud of what we have built including our amazing fully equipped workshop. And I have passed all my exams and have become a fully qualified cyclic mechanic with full Bocsh training, as well as many other E-bike brands.

Our aim is always to go above and beyond for our customers and I will continue to strive for greatness. I look forward to what the future holds.

You can find me in the workshop surrounded by tools and drinking coffee. I look forward to working on your Bike.

One of my favourite things about my role is connecting with our amazing community. I’m the one behind the scenes, pulling together those newsletters that land in your inbox, curating engaging content for our social media platforms, and ensuring our website stays as fresh as our latest e-bike launches.

Weekends for me are all about family bike rides, and the difference having an e-bike has made is nothing short of amazing. We get to pedal through picturesque landscapes for longer, turning our outdoor adventures into quality family time. It’s a game-changer, and I’m passionate about sharing that joy with all of you. Being a part of Allen’s E-Bikes isn’t just a job; it’s a journey into the world of sustainable and enjoyable transportation.
