A fleet of up to 700 shared electric bikes, set to be rolled out in Nottingham in the coming months, have been described as a leisurely travel solution. Similar to the e-scooter trials, the bikes would be made available to hire across the city on a pay-as-you-go basis, potentially from as early as March.
The scheme comes from a partnership between Nottingham City Council and e-bike providers Lime, which runs the same scheme in London. Councillor Audra Wynter, portfolio holder for transport at the city council, told Nottinghamshire Live they could be used for both commuting and leisure
"With e-scooters you can't carry your shopping but with the e-bike you can," she said. "They will be a more leisurely solution when people travel but they can also take people to work."
