Residents looking for an environmentally friendly way to zip about the borough can borrow one of the Council’s new electric-powered bikes.
There are three eBikes that can be loaned out to borough residents or businesses.
The bikes come with an optional trailer that could be handy for businesses doing deliveries locally.
We are developing an on line booking system, but for now to ask to test a bike for up to a month, contact cycling@rbkc.gov.uk or call 020 7361 3628.
