Tim Gregory, founder of Smilebikes in Langley, has launched an appeal after thieves stole his personal e-bike outside the Co-op in Loddon at around 4.30pm on Sunday. It is a dark blue Haibike - an electric full suspension mountain bike - with a silver rear end and the crime is believed to have been caught on the Co-op's CCTV system. Mr Gregory said: "This is a very special e-bike that I use both for the business and personally - this is a huge loss." But a gift of an electric bike, from an ex-sponsor, got him back on two wheels and he said it had"completely changed my life". And seven years ago he set up his business Smilebikes, which sells e-bikes to people with health conditions or who otherwise struggle on traditional bicycles.
