Cambridge City Council would like to gauge your businesses interest in a possible eCargo bike scheme. With a view to supporting the adoption of eCargo bikes by Cambridge businesses, offering a sustainable transport solution for urban deliveries, generating zero emissions and contributing to improved air quality.
Please find three eCargo bike usage options explained below, followed by four questions to help Cambridge City Council understand your businesses interest in eCargo bikes as a sustainable transport solution for urban deliveries.
eCargo bike usage type:
1. Try before you buy scheme
Cambridge City Council sets up a scheme with a small fleet of eCargo bikes and allows local business’ to:
a) Come and trial the bikes
b) Organise a short-term lease (e.g. 1 week)
2. Leasing Scheme
To enable organisations to trial bikes before purchase. Cambridge City Council sets up a scheme and allows local businesses to lease the bikes for short, medium and long-term leases. Would work well when supporting new business.
3. Shared/pool eCargo bikes
Cambridge City Council purchases bikes and sets up a booking system for organisations to book out bikes for certain days each week. Enables the benefits of bikes to be taken advantage of by a variety of organisations, at a lower cost than purchasing the bikes.
