A fleet of rental electric bikes are being rolled out across Nottingham in an effort to boost sustainable travel. Similar to the e-scooter trials, the bikes are available to hire across the city on a pay-as-you-go basis from Friday, April 14.
The scheme comes from a partnership between Nottingham City Council and e-bike providers Lime, which runs the same scheme in London, Milton Keynes and Salford. Riders will need to use the Lime app and will be required to park and collect e-bikes at one of about 100 designated parking bays around the city.
According to the app, bikes require an initial £1 payment, with users being charged 19p per minute. This works out at £12.40 for a one-hour hire.
