New e-bikes rolling out this spring!

Getting about the city will be even easier this year, when our fleet of around 700 electric bikes hit the streets, thanks to a partnership with leading electric vehicle company, Lime.

The e-bikes will be available to hire on a payas-you-go basis in key city locations, enabling more city residents and visitors to enjoy the benefits that cycling can bring. Hiring them is easy, using the Lime app, which can be downloaded on Apple or Android smartphones. They will cost £1 to unlock and 17p a minute and will be restricted to only work within Nottingham City Council boundaries.

With a Lime e-bike, you’ll be able to:

Replace some car journeys with a more sustainable, planet-friendly alternative

Tackle the hills around the city easily, with the bike’s electric motor, perfect for restarting at traffic lights or zebra crossings

Use them on your commute or shopping trip, as there’s a built-in basket to carry your bags

The e-bikes will feature the latest Gen4 features including: Built-in front and rear lights – with rear lights that brighten when you brake

A phone holder, for safer navigation

A range of 64km with batteries monitored by Lime so they can be recharged when needed
