Electric Bikes To Be Used By Cycle-hire Schemes
Cycle-hire schemes across the UK are to receive hundreds of electric bikes in an effort to make cycling more accessible, Transport Minister Andrew Jones has announced.
The 'e-bikes', which offer battery-assisted pedalling at the flick of a switch, will make it easier for people who are keen to cycle more but who may be put off by hilly routes or not having cycled regularly.
Transport Minister Andrew Jones said: "Electric bikes are a great way to encourage new people to get into cycling and today’s announcement will provide an opportunity for thousands more to enjoy the advantages they offer.
"Cycling helps cut congestion and is a healthy, affordable transport option.
"We want to double the number of journeys made by bicycle. That is why we are also investing over the next five years in cycle training and infrastructure."
