Become an OurBike community host

Our Bike

Why become an OurBike host?

    • Encourage clean, safe transport in your community
    • Get 20 hours per month of free use of an electric cargo bike
    • Become the focal point of your local community with an e-cargo bike parked near your premises or home
    • If you are a business or local community group or charity the bike is named after you and you get some branding on the box to identify you as the host. Your organisation will also be included in any promotions

What are my responsibilities as a Host?

  • Charge the spare battery and swap it when required
  • The bike remains outside 24/7 and you are not responsible for anything that happens to it, but we do ask that you keep an eye on it and report any issues to us

 

Who can apply to be a Host?

  • Local businesses, community groups, charities, schools, residents associations or even a group of individuals who want to encourage sustainable transport in their area. There is no cost to the host organisation.

Who funds an OurBike? 

  • Initial funding for the assets comes from public sector organisations such as local councils or the NHS or from other organisations like property developers, corporate businesses, business collectives such as BIDS, non-profit organisations and grant funding. The ongoing management of the service comes from a mix of this external funding and revenue generated from the subsidised hire fees.
