TfL launches e-bikes for hire

Transport for London’s (TfL) existing cycle hire scheme has been joined by 500 electric bikes today. The new e-bikes have been distributed across key central London locations and can be docked at any of the scheme’s 800 docking stations.
As they use the existing docking stations, they will be recharged by the cycle hire staff swapping out the batteries.
