Cambridge E-Bike hire scheme set for expansion

An expansion to the Cambridge scheme is on the cards.

The area in which you can pick up an e-scooter or e-bike is growing.

Initial changes to the trial boundary will take place to remedy accessibility issues, making it possible to travel along the Histon to Girton link and commuting to Cambridge University’s Laundry farm.

Further expansion is expected to be rolled out in phases throughout 2025, following successful engagement with local areas, which will take place early next year.

New e-bikes which are lighter, lower, easier to get on and more manoeuvrable will also be trialled with an allocation of 200 to pilot in Cambridge initially. 

Dr Nik Johnson, Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough:

"We are committed to providing residents with reliable and affordable public transport options and e-scooters and e-bikes are proving a convenient and enjoyable way to travel around the city, so I’m pleased to see them being rolled out further such that more people can benefit".

James Bolton, Voi UK General Manager:

"We are very excited about this next stage of our expansion in Cambridgeshire. Our scheme in Cambridge is already one of the best-used in the UK, delivering significant benefits locally.

"Since we launched in Cambridge back in 2020, we have received regular requests from residents - including those from nearby towns and villages - about boosting our fleet size and operating area. We are pleased this expansion can now happen and look forward to working with CPCA and other local stakeholders to deliver safe, sustainable and affordable micromobility to more of Cambridgeshire."
