What is Tees Valley Wheels 2 Work?

The scheme is designed to provide an innovative way of overcoming transport barriers by hiring an electric motorbike or electric bicycle to working age people in the Tees Valley for up to a six-month period, until a longer-term transport solution can be found.

How does the hire work?

An electric motorbike or bicycle can be hired from the scheme for £21 a week to support eligible Tees Valley residents who are unable to access employment or training due to living in remote areas which are currently not well serviced by public transport links or who work outside of normal working hours.
