A new pilot e-bike hire scheme is set to be launched in Bristol to encourage sustainable travel and tackle unemployment.
Magazine and social enterprise The Big Issue has partnered with Norwegian bike company ShareBike for the initiative.
After what The Big Issue called “frustrating” manufacturer and supply chain delays, 420 branded power-assisted bikes could be available to ride in the city’s streets in the coming days. A release date announcement is “close”, according to the scheme’s Facebook page.
