Asgard says:

Store and Protect Your Electric E bikes

The Access E Plus is a large all metal storage shed that has been designed to protect your E-Bike. Made from weatherproof steel, weighing over 19 stone, and coming with a whole host of security features to protect your high-value Electric Bike; this storage unit will ensure your peace of mind when storing your Electric Hybrid Bike outside of the home.

Storage for up to 3 Electric Bikes

Up to 3 Electric Bikes can be stored in this shed; (Please check the size of your bikes before purchase) from E-Bikes that have been designed for the road, to the larger Fat Wheel Electric Mountain Bikes; this spacious unit provides an excellent solution to storing your bikes under lock and key, and out of harm's way from bad weather and opportunist thieves. At the front of this E-Bike storage shed you'll find easy access via the heavy-duty double-doors, which provide a massive 5ft 3 opening. You'll also find a reinforced easy-lift top-opening-lid (gas lift) all secured with heavy duty locking shrouds and a door deadbolt. Providing excellent access, but incredible bike security.

Each of the panels that complete the structure of this Electric Bike shed is made from heavy-duty, galvanised steel. Even the integral floor is made of heavy-duty galvanised steel, meaning that the unit cannot be penetrated from the ground up. For additional security the Access E can be bolted to the ground using the supplied fixing bolts, giving unrivalled bike security.

Electric Bike Charging

Either side of the Access E is a mounting plate, designed to allow you to mount electric sockets* for battery charging. At the base of each side is a convenient access hole with a rubber grommet, allowing you to feed cables from outside into your bike shed into the sockets, allowing you to charge your bikes as the unit is fully locked.

With electric bicycles becoming ever more popular amongst commuters and those interested in a cheap, economical and environmentally friendly method of transport, there is a greater demand for places to securely store these items, with the average E-bike costing in excess of £2000, such a bike is highly prized by thieves.

You can further increase the storage capacity of the Access E Plus, by adding Asgard bike shed accessory packs, such as hooks and shelves. The Access E Plus has been designed and made in the UK and is supplied with a free 10 Year Warranty. Free delivery to most of the mainland UK is also available.

*Optional extra.

Please note:

- Asgard do not fit the electric sockets as part of the installation option.

Really well made with thought put into how to keep the shed as secure as possible.

It's very secure and straightforward to use. The fact that I could put it up in under two hours was also a highlight.

It's a high quality shed made from galvanised steel.

It's a similar price to other sheds on the market, but offers a more sturdy construction and a larger capacity.

Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose

Very well. It has kept my bikes secure and protected, it was a cinch to construct, and fits everything I could possibly need inside it.

Tell us what you particularly liked about the product

The simplicity of construction combined with security is a real highlight; you wouldn't think that you could make a flatpack product as high quality as this.

Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product

That you need an electrician to connect the socket, which you have to buy separately... but aside from that there is little not to like.

How does the price compare to that of similar products in the market, including ones recently tested on road.cc?

The Cycle Republic Bicycle Store is £559 but only holds three bikes. The Trimetals Protect-A-Cycle Metal Shed is £650 but again only holds three bikes.

Use this box to explain your overall score

A big, secure, easy-to-assemble way to store your bike. After initial trepidation at the idea of leaving my bikes outside when I saw the panels being delivered, after it was constructed I felt more than happy to do so. Given how precious I am about them, this is a real endorsement.
