A first of its kind off-grid e-bike charging station has started generating power on Newcastle Quayside.
Power Trip has been developed in the North East by Hexham -based firm Intelligen International and offers e-bike riders arriving at Newcastle’s Cycle Hub overlooking the city’s iconic Tyne bridges, the chance to recharge their batteries with zero-carbon energy for just pennies whilst grabbing a revitalising drink themselves.
Power Trip’s developer Dr Geoff Wallman has plans to install more of the devices across the North East, and hopes to see it rolled out across the UK as growing fears about climate change and soaring fuel prices push people to find cheaper and cleaner alternative forms of transport.
