Making Cycling E-asier
The Making Cycling E-asier scheme, funded by the Department for Transport, aims to support communities in Manchester by providing free skills and confidence sessions as well as free one-month e-cycle loans. The program is implemented through e-hubs located at selected workplaces, Evans Cycles stores, and community hubs.
In Manchester, e-hubs have been established at Stretford Public Hall, Khizra Mosque, NHS Wythenshawe Hospital, and Evans Cycles at Cheetham Hill. Additionally, in partnership with Wheels for All, we are operating two inclusive cycling e-hubs at Debdale Park and Philips Park.
The programme was initially launched in May 2022 in Manchester with the first e-hub at Evans Cycles, followed by the launch of all the e-hubs in early 2023. Currently, the programme has delivered the following in Manchester alone:
- 531 one-month e-cycle loans
- 795 beneficiaries reached through skills and confidence sessions
The e-cycle fleet used within the programme consists of a variety of brands, styles, and types, including share bikes, high-end hybrid bikes, folding e-cycles, electric trikes and e-cargo bokes. Each e-hub has access to a fleet of up to 70 e-cycles.
The Making Cycling E-asier scheme aims to provide an inclusive and accessible opportunity for individuals to experience e-cycling, regardless of their characteristics or demographics. The programme operates under a universal access model, ensuring that participation is open to all who are interested in cycling on a short- or long-term basis. We strive to reach individuals who may be more likely to cycle frequently, but we also extend opportunities to everyone.
