Remember the time when you would see the AA patrolman attending some call outs on his Norton motorbike during the golden age of motoring. Well the guy on the bike is back, once again offering breakdown cover on two wheels. There is a difference though, the AA are now using electric bikes within central London to be more environmentally friendly. The motorbikes are called Vectrix Bike, the claim is they can be quicker in heavy traffic and of course not be seen as contributing traffic or co2 problems.

The AA believes that the bike still has its worth because that so many breakdowns are due to flat batteries, flat tyres and being locked out their car, in better words callouts that do not need a large set of parts or tools.
The AA are also keen to suggest that one persons breakdown could cause other motorists problems, especially if the breakdown on a busy street. The improved attendance time within city areas, could ease congestion and get both the car that has broken down and possibly many other motorists on their way much quicker.
