The Forth Valley e-bike scheme in Scotland is powering forward with the help of Bewegen. Our team will be working with Forth Environment Link deliver the UK’s first cross regional partnership electric bike share project, supported by Transport Scotland, NHS Forth Valley, Clackmannanshire Council, Stirling Council and Falkirk Council.
The project is Bewegen’s first large-scale project in the UK. The first phase of the project will see 100 fully electric bikes made available across key locations in Clackmannanshire, Falkirk and Stirling. To get things started, an initial phase is expected to be ready by Autumn 2018, creating important connections to the Larbert Train station and Forth Valley Royal Hospital.
“Bewegen is proud to be a part of the launch of the UK’s first cross-regional electric bike scheme. Data from our systems launched around the world have shown that our e-bikes offer a transportation alternative that is more attractive to a diverse range of users, which contributes to a larger mode shift towards cycling. We believe that the Forth Valley Scheme will be very successful, with a strong potential for growth throughout the region. Bewegen is committed to strengthening the Forth Valley region by establishing a local operations team, thereby creating jobs and contributing to the local economy. Overall, we are grateful for this opportunity and excited to get this project rolling!''
