New electric cargo bike hire scheme available

A new electric cargo bike hire scheme is now available to businesses and other organisations in Eastleigh to help them reduce air pollution when transporting goods and making local deliveries.

A fleet of 10 electric cargo bikes will be available to businesses and educational, charitable, community and voluntary sector organisations.

Trialling a RIDES (Realising Innovative Deliveries in Eastleigh and Southampton) ecargo bike is free and organisations can hire them for anything

from a weekend event to a longer trial period of up to three months.

The scheme allows organisations to see how using a greener, more sustainable delivery method can work for them, at the same time as reducing congestion and improving air quality in the local area.
