Glasgow’s OVO Bikes network is set to expand soon with 33 new e-bikes and 16 additional parking stations being installed across the city - including 10 which charge electric bikes, operator nextbike has revealed.

The new e-bikes and e-stations join the existing electric network of 126 e-bikes and 37 electric stations, which were first introduced in 2019 - and will make Glasgow’s OVO Bikes scheme more accessible for cycling enthusiasts across the city.

Glaswegians have made more than 1.6 million rentals since operators nextbike UK first launched the scheme in the city in 2014. Almost 94000 of those journeys have been made on e-bikes since their introduction in October 2019.

Councillor Anna Richardson, City Convener for Sustainability and Carbon Reduction, said: “It’s fantastic to see the bike hire network continue to expand into more and more areas of the city.

“The scheme has been a big success for Glasgow and introducing e-bikes has helped make active travel an increasingly attractive option in the city.

“E-bikes are a great way to get involved in cycling if you are new or returning to pedalling as the bikes can provide invaluable assistance on hills or longer journeys.

“A significant shift towards active travel is essential if we are to reduce the carbon emissions created by how we get about Glasgow.

“E-bikes have an important role to play in Glasgow’s effort to tackle the climate crisis.”
