The Scottish Government has awarded over £633,000 to support 45 e-bike projects across the country.
Through the latest round of the eBike Grant Fund, delivered through Energy Saving Trust, schools, hospitals and community groups will establish projects to adopt e-bikes, adaptive bikes and e-cargo bikes as an alternative to car journeys.
For the first time, over £223,000 of this overall funding package is enabling specific projects which directly support key workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In Golspie, Cycling UK Scotland will work with key workers including NHS staff, carers, shop workers, service providers and local businesses to provide access through a new pool of eight e-bikes. In Glasgow and Edinburgh, Simon Community Scotland is being provided with a grant of almost £16,000 to support its outreach work in helping vulnerable people through the assistance of e-bikes.
