Bradford e-bike share scheme

The new e-bike share scheme will feature a fleet of electric bicycles, strategically located at key points throughout the district. Residents and visitors will be able to easily access these e-bikes, offering a convenient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective mode of transport for short journeys, daily commutes, and recreational activities.

Parking locations will be installed across the district to ensure the scheme is as accessible as possible to all. The Bradford Beryl Bike scheme will offer high quality e-bikes to residents, commuters and visitors.
