Fife Easy E-Bikes aims to help Fifers get into cycling

We’ve launched a new e-bike subscription service to make it easier for people in Fife to get into cycling.

Fife Easy E-Bikes is a reliable and easy-to-use e-bike subscription service that offers all the enjoyment and benefits of a new e-bike, without the large upfront costs or ongoing worries of ownership. E-bikes are available to hire for a minimum of four weeks.

The e-bike subscription service is hosted at our Lang Toun Cycles Community Bike Shop on Kirkcaldy High Street. The shop has a fleet of 38 new e-bikes in a range of styles and sizes. This includes bikes designed for commuting, riding around town and taking on tougher trails.

People can choose from a range of different models to suit different needs and abilities. Prices start from £50 for four weeks for an electric folding bike. Subscriptions include theft and accident insurance as well as regular repairs and maintenance. We can provide cycling confidence training for no extra cost.

Lang Toun Cycles Project Manager David Glover said: “We know that lots of people want to use e-bikes to get around but they can be put off by the large up-front cost or the ongoing hassle of buying a new bike. Thanks to support from the Cycle Share Fund we can offer people an affordable way to use an e-bike.

“There are lots of benefits to e-bikes. They are fun to ride and the motor assist makes it easy to get up steep hills. Cycling is also a great way to get fit, lower stress and feel good. E-bikes are particularly helpful for anyone who wants to get back into cycling. We hope Fife Easy E-Bikes will help more people leave their car at home for short journeys.”

Fife Easy E-Bikes is funded by Cycling UK and Transport Scotland through the Cycle Share Fund.
