More than 150 electric bikes were today made available for hire at docking stations across the West Midlands, giving even more people the opportunity to cycle.
The eBikes, made by Pashley, are the latest addition to the West Midlands Cycle Hire (WMCH) scheme and are available for hire in Birmingham, Coventry, Sandwell, Solihull, Stourbridge, Sutton Coldfield, Walsall and Wolverhampton.
Their arrival will allow riders to make longer journeys more easily and will offer extra help to those who may have difficulty pedalling a regular cycle or struggle with hills. And affordable hire costs give those put off by the expense of buying a new eBike the opportunity to give it a go.

Pashley are honoured to receive the inaugural NVN Nick Carpenter Award – along with our project partners Simpact, Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) and Foresight Innovations – for our ‘Articulating Lightweight Electrically-assisted Cargo Solution’ a zero-emission e-cargo tricycle, designed to meet the rapidly growing demands of the final-mile delivery market.
With a unique, specially designed Innovation Trophy, the purpose of the Award is to identify and promote examples of outstanding and innovative NVN funded R&D projects. The award trophy also celebrates the vision and innovation which Nick Carpenter brought to his work throughout his lifetime.
Adrian Williams, Managing Direct, Pashley Cycles said: “It is a great honour to win this award as we know how enthusiastic Nick was to encourage innovative thinking and new product development. Whilst we realised that there was a huge potential market for the truly low carbon vehicle we had conceived, we then had to make the concept a reality, and the “ALECS” Team faced many challenges during the NVN Proof of Concept and Production Readiness stages. It was only through teamwork and by finding innovative solutions to problems encountered along the way - whether in the drivetrain, materials and structural engineering, or production process optimization - that we were able to bring the project to a successful conclusion. We now have a world-leading product that we can sell internationally.”

Pashley today reveal advance details of an innovative NEW UK designed and built electrically assisted e-cargo trike which is to enter production in April 2021. Currently under the project name “ALECS”, the Articulating Lightweight Electrically-assisted Cargo Solution will form the platform for a NEW GENERATION of configurable products to meet the rapidly growing market for zero-emission last mile cargo vehicles. ALECS is aimed at filling the gap in the mid-market. Currently larger scale requirements are serviced by electric vans or expensive EAVs, and smaller requirements by e-cargo bikes, and ALECS will sit between the two.
