EV bikes: hire or try before you buy

As part of the Saffron Walden Clean Air Project we are launching an EV bike share scheme for the town.

E-bike icon

We have completed our bike share survey in Saffron Walden which showed a keen interest for bike share schemes.

Residents expressed a particular interest in seeing a shared scheme of e-bikes in the town, and was chosen as the most desirable scheme.
 

About the project

We will shortly be going out to procurement for a small, shared e-bike shuttle service in Saffron Walden between a few key locations.

We will also be procuring at the same time a provider for bike loans where you can try before you buy different types of bikes.

This will include:

  • e-bikes
  • e-cargo bikes
  • conventional pedal bikes

You will also be able to borrow a bike on long term loan.

Eligibility

The scheme will be open to anyone who or works lives in Saffron Walden.

This will be available in Spring 2024.
