Leicester e-Cycles Loan Scheme
The Leicester e-Cycles Loan Scheme is a Leicester City Council -led project that aims to encourage more people to consider using an e-cycles as an alternative to the car for short journeys.
To be eligible for the free e-cycle loan, people need to live in the city and have an Active Leicester membership. It’s quick and easy to sign up for a free pay as you go membership, and there will be no charge for the loan. Applicants must be over 16 years of age.
The scheme aims to encourage more people to take up cycling for regular trips and leave the car at home for short journeys.
People who borrow an e-cycle and complete a travel diary showing how it was used will be eligible for a voucher towards the cost of a potential e-cycle purchase. The scheme is fully funded through Active Travel England and around 100 e-cycles will be available to borrow as part of the two-year pilot project.
