Borrow an e-bike

About us

Have you always wanted to give an e-bike a try? Now’s your chance.

TfGM and Cycling UK have a number of e-bikes available to Greater Manchester residents to try out. You can test one out for yourself on a free trial and see how e-cycling can change your life.

The scheme is open to anyone living in Greater Manchester over the age of 16, so why not discover how e-cycles can make everyday journeys easier.

E-bikes make travelling around hilly areas much easier, and are brilliant if you have limited mobility, or if you’re simply a less confident cyclist. They're also a great option to replace the car for shorter journeys, or to use for the commute to work without getting quite as hot cycling into the office.

E-bikes are very similar to a regular cycle with the addition of a motor to assist your progress up to around 15.5mph and you can ride an e-bike anywhere you’d ride a normal bike: on the road, on a cycle path or shared-use path, or on a bridleway or byway.
