In this episode, Liam talks to Linas Pozerskis - Co-founder and CEO of WAU - a company selling long range electric bikes. Headquartered in Birmingham, WAU was set up in 2018 after Linas and his team conducted extensive market research amongst avid cyclists - to find out what makes the perfect electric bike.

Today’s WAU bikes, the company says, combine effortless repair with a 100-mile range between charges. WAU keeps prices down by avoiding high street mark-up, going direct to consumers.

Starting from a garage in Nottingham, Linas now runs from a sizeable manufacturing plant, but the journey has been challenging. To get the business up and running, he and other founders invested their savings, worked 100-hour weeks and slept on the factory floor.
