E-Bike Library Pilot Kicks Off in Auckland

Aucklanders wondering if purchasing an e-bike would be a good move for them now have the option of trying it out for up to two weeks, for free.

The Go e-bike Loans scheme project, run by Auckland- based charity EcoMatters, will offer a range of commuter and cargo bikes, as well as child seats and bike bags, if needed.  It will operate from two EcoMatters bike hubs, based in Glen Innes and Queens Wharf.

Enabling people to borrow a bike could give them a sense of how it could fit in with their lifestyle and contribute to greater confidence in purchasing a bike of their own, EcoMatters chief executive Carla Gee says.

This project is part of a wider e-bike library pilot programme funded by Waka Kotahi. Contributing to wider uptake of more active forms of transport can help our towns and cities shift to more sustainable and climate friendly ways of moving around. Planning is also underway for an additional three e-bike libraries to be delivered across the motu over the summer in partnership with local community organisations.
