EV cargo bike hire

We've teamed up with Peddle my wheels to provide a community e-cargo bike that will be available for hire by local businesses.

As part of the Saffron Walden Clean Air project we are hoping to pilot a community e-cargo bike scheme.
 

About the project

PeddleMyWheels will be providing a community e-cargo bike that will be available for hire by Christmas.

It will be located in the centre of Saffron Walden, hosted by a local business, and available for anyone to hire through the 'our bike app'.

Residents or businesses can hire the bike for 75p per 15 minutes due to council subsidy of this scheme.

The e-cargo bike is perfect for making local deliveries, transporting large goods, or bringing your shopping back from the market.
 

Other schemes

There are other schemes involving e-cargo bikes that have worked elsewhere.
