Derby's new electric bike sharing scheme has been unveiled.
Featuring a selection of the state-of-the-art ebikes, it will be the largest electric bikeshare scheme in the UK.
In addition to being the country's largest electric bikeshare scheme, the technology behind the ebikes in Derby is currently only being used in New York and San Francisco.
Docking stations will be based across the city: including various University of Derby sites, Rolls-Royce, the Railway Station, Derby Arena, the Council House, the Market Place, Victoria Street, The Spot, Castle Ward, the Roundhouse, Royal Derby Hospital and the Rail Technology Centre.
Plans for the bikeshare were first revealed last year, after the Derby City Council took part in a competitive bid to win funding for a sustainable transport alternative for the city. The bid was successful and a £450k grant was awarded, for Derby to receive a bikeshare scheme. Derby University then came on board as a key partner, contributing £100k to the scheme's running costs.
