E-bike scheme launched in Hammersmith & Fulham

London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham has partnered with TIER Mobility to provide e-bikes for residents.
 
TIER, which already operates its e-scooter fleet in London as part of TfL’s recently extended trial, and launched its e-bikes in Islington last year, is providing micro-mobility options to help cut congestion and pollution in the capital.
 
Additionally, Hammersmith & Fulham is the first West London location to have TIER e-bikes on its streets, supporting the borough’s goal to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2030, following the Council’s declaration of a climate and ecological emergency in 2019. As the first fully climate-neutral micro-mobility operator, TIER is best-positioned to support this ambitious target.  
 
The scheme follows results from a study of more than 2,000 adults across 14 UK cities, carried out by TIER and Opinium, which found that 38% of adults would switch to greener transport to cut their carbon footprint this year, with 28% specifically choosing to switch to e-bikes or e-scooters.
 
Up to 250 TIER e-bikes will be available from parking bays across Hammersmith & Fulham, and will be charged at the same rate as e-scooters - £1 to unlock and £0.15 per minute riding. Regular riders, such as those using e-bikes for full or partial commutes, can benefit from day and monthly passes. London e-bike customers can now start and end their rides in dedicated and marked parking bays in Hammersmith & Fulham, as well as virtual parking bays in Islington, Lambeth, Southwark and Kensington & Chelsea. In line with the company’s ongoing commitment to offering inclusive and fair access to sustainable mobility, TIER’s e-bike customers will continue to benefit from the company’s UK Access Scheme, which provides 50% off all trips for 6 months for eligible riders including jobseekers, students and Blue Light Card holders.

Councillor Wesley Harcourt, Cabinet Member for Climate Change & Ecology at Hammersmith & Fulham Council, said: “We are celebrating 1,000 electric rental bicycles in Hammersmith & Fulham – another important milestone on the road to becoming the greenest borough in Britain.

"On top of our growing e-bike fleet, we’re working hard to create more protected bike lanes in the borough to make cycling accessible and safe for all.

"Putting H&F on the map for cyclists is part of the actions we’re taking to help our residents make better travel choices – for themselves, and the environment.”
