Electric bike trial
Västtrafik continually offers residents in Västra Götaland to try new habits through an electric bike trial. You can borrow an electric bike for a couple of weeks and hopefully let your car rest.
The application period to borrow an electric bike for residents in Skövde Municipality is open April 24 to May 21. We offer one trial period:
- The trial period runs from June 11 to August 20.
Would you like to participate and try it out?
Here’s what you need to do to become a test cyclist.
Insurance
You need to have private home insurance that covers the cost of the bike. Contact your insurance provider for more information. The electric bike is an Ecoride Ambassador. It has a maximum speed of 25 km/h and a motor power of 250 W. The new value is approximately SEK 24,995. You will be required to sign a transfer agreement when you receive the bike, making you responsible for it during the trial period.
Approved bike lock
We recommend that you secure the bike to a bike rack using an approved U-lock. A U-lock is not included. The bike is equipped with a frame lock.
Bike helmet recommended
For your safety, we recommend that you use a bike helmet. You will need to provide your own helmet. Participation in the project is otherwise free of charge.
Pick-up and return of the bike
You or a designated representative are responsible for picking up and returning the bike near Skövde Hospital on June 11 or August 20.
