eBikes for schools

In 2021, we promoted an active travel project for all schools. The scheme was aimed at getting school staff out of their cars and trying out an eBike.

Our commitment

• We bring you a fleet of 6 electric bikes with cycle bags and helmets on an agreed date & time

• We assist with an on-call option in case there are any issues.
• We give you a hire period of 4 weeks in total! eBikes are able to provide 15+ miles per full charge

School commitment

• You provide time for 6 staff to participate in training – typically 1-2 hours in an afternoon on the same day that the bikes and equipment is delivered
• You provide safe and secure bike storage on site
• Participants engage with students and staff to discuss challenges and benefits of eBikes e.g. through an assemblies or workshop
• Provide feedback after the month.
