GB-Saffron Walden: UDC - Shared Bike Scheme

Description

Shared Bike Scheme - This project combines 2 elements: a) An electric bike share scheme/network. This is defined by having the ability to pick up and drop off bikes at more than one location. There should be a minimum of two locations. b) a bike loan/ library scheme. This is defined as a service which provides longer term access to bikes without the need to buy them. Electric bike share scheme The equipment supplied will need to be 'electrically assisted pedal cycles' (EAPCs). Location(s) and number will be determined by the operator in conjunction with UDC. The bidder will be guided by the survey results, based on the most desired location(s), types of bikes, and likelihood of usage, as well as their own expertise and data. The bidder should present an options appraisal based on the above. Bike loan / library scheme The equipment provided here will be a mixture of conventional pedal bikes, EAPCs, and at least one e-cargo bike. Whether this service is based at a fixed location or mobile is a decision that should be made in conjunction with UDC.
