Hiring electric

Want to go electric when it suits you?

We’re introducing a range of cheap, flexible ways to hire an EV or electric bike, with something for everyone. Here’s our electric dream:

  • Take the kids out for the day or do a local shop with an e-cargo bike.

  • Join an eCar club if you need to make a longer journey.

  • Pop out on an eBike or eScooter for a meal with friends.

Could eHUBS be the answer for you?

eHUBS is a year-long pilot set to give people in parts of Greater Manchester innovative electric alternatives to private cars, to help people make more sustainable travel choices. Funded by Interreg North-West Europe, we hope the pilot project will be popular with all sorts of people, and will show how electric cargo bikes and car clubs can help keep Greater Manchester moving safely and sustainably. The hubs will offer a range of affordable ways to hire electric cargo (e-cargo) bikes and electric car club vehicles. E-cargo bikes are now available to hire in Chorlton, Whalley Range and Ancoats.

Scoot on over

Fancy a scoot? Salford is part of the Department for Transport’s trial eScooter scheme run by Lime Scooters. So if you’re in the neighbourhood, just download the Lime app to find a scooter near you.

Book it, pick it up and get scooting. It’s just £1 to unlock the scooter and 15p a minute after that. Day passes are also available for £11.99, and an unlimited monthly pass for £8.99. Anyone who’s over 18 and holds a provisional driving licence can hire a scooter.

Rochdale's 12-month pilot eScooter scheme with Lime finished at the end of March 2022.
