Electric bike hire for everyone.
Pedal Power
Buying an electric bike is a big decision and financial commitment.
Especially when there are hills to climb.
That’s why we have worked hard to secure funding and provide low cost e-bike hire. So you can try, try and try. We offer e-bikes suited for a single rider and cargo bikes to transport children too.
What people Are saying
