Our new eBike scheme is the first of it’s kind and is now launched in Bristol and will be launching in other communities across the UK soon.

The reason they’re so good?

Why are we different

We recruit and retrain people who were previously unemployed and support them back into work to run the schemes.

How we do it

Our employees are paid a living wage and supported with access to services and support to improve their lives.

For Councils

At Big Issue eBikes we understand that many councils are unable to fund tenders for cycle schemes.

But because our schemes are funded by subscription and advertising revenues, we can literally drop a fleet into any city regardless of tender while still working with local councils to meet their environmental objectives.
