Transition Stroud and social enterprise The Bike Drop are working together to offer e-bike hire across Stroud district in collaboration with the many Climate Action Networks, community groups and cycling enthusiasts.

How does it work?

Our E-bikes come with all safety equipment and transport aids (panniers, baskets etc) and over the winetr are priced at the special rate of £70 per month

For the Gazelle E bikes: You can reclaim 100% of the hire fee as a voucher to spend in local bike shops.

For the Benno Cargo Bikes:You can choose to have this reserve returned once the e-bikes are safely back with us, or donate the balance to help us cover our costs and keep the service running in the future.

Read more about how the reservation / donation and late fees work on this page. Or just go right ahead and book an e-bike from your nearest hub here. Please be aware that each of our hubs have different availabilities and opening times. If in doubt, contact us on hello@pedal-power.bike to ask questions or arrange a bike reservation for you.
