Top Gear Ltd

In Penryn, near Falmouth and Truro, Top Gear Ltd focuses on electric bikes. Peter Williams and Amanda Rolleston founded the family business in 1990; over time, the shop narrowed its focus to e-bike sales and servicing, alongside accessories. Its offer brings a showroom, workshop, and rental fleet together at one location.

The catalog covers several formats: step-through and crossbar frames, folding, mountain, gravel and road bikes, lightweight and hybrid models, cargo bikes, and trekking options. The website also groups bikes by assistance system—mid-drive motors or hub motors—a useful distinction when comparing how power is delivered and which riding style may suit each cyclist.

The shop carries brands such as Scott, Raleigh, Kalkhoff, MiRider, Focus, Haibike, Moustache, Tenways, Ampere, Ezego, Wisper, Synch, and UTO, along with others in its catalog. Models can be viewed at the store, and the company offers the chance to try a bike before buying. The range of frames, motors, and accessories lets customers compare options for commuting, leisure rides, and more demanding routes.

The workshop adds bike repair and maintenance, with replacement parts and components. E-bike sales are joined by helmets, baskets, pannier bags, puncture protection, and security accessories; the company also lists clothing and service items. For buyers, that combination brings bike selection and some of the equipment needed to keep it in use together.

Rentals let customers try an electric bike without starting with a purchase. Top Gear Ltd maintains a hire fleet and presents it as a way to explore Cornwall or experience electric assistance firsthand. The shop also offers advice before purchase and after-sales support, helping customers understand differences between models and address technical questions after choosing a bike.

Commuters can ask about the Cycle to Work schemes the shop accepts; the company also says it offers financing packages and takes most credit and debit cards. Terms depend on the plan and product, so these options are reviewed when preparing a purchase rather than treated as the listed price of a specific bike.

From Penryn, Top Gear Ltd serves cyclists in Falmouth, Truro, and other Cornwall towns, including Redruth, Helston, Newquay, St Austell, Bodmin, St Ives, and Penzance. The business brings its showroom, workshop, and rental fleet together at one location, allowing customers to get information, compare an e-bike, and ask about service without splitting those steps among different providers.
