E-bikes: The answer to quick and easy travel in Dundee

What’s one of the fastest – and least expensive – ways to travel around Dundee? The answer may surprise you.

You may have spotted Embark Dundee’s e-bikes around the city – at one of more than 20 bike stations or being enjoyed by users on a trip. But what you may not have realised is how cost effective and efficient using e-bikes can be.

Embark Dundee’s handy app makes picking up an e-bike quick and easy. Just check that your nearest station has an available bike, then use your phone to unlock it and off you go. And once you are finished, just return it to a docking station.

While e-bikes can only go as fast as the speed limit allows, they aren’t restricted to the road, so within minutes you can cut through parks or use cycle paths while drivers sit in rush-hour queues, reaching your destination much faster.

Just visiting Dundee? Electric bikes are a great way to travel around and enjoy Dundee, Scotland’s sunniest city. They make cycling in all conditions easier and more enjoyable, especially using pedal assist to power up the city’s hills.

You can hop on a bike and pay as you go. For just £1, you can start a trip (there is also a 6p per mile charge for the first 20 miles of the journey) from any bike station.

Embark Dundee wants as many people as possible to have access to e-bikes, which is why it is opening new stations in residential areas. Two of the newest ones are in Menzieshill and Linlathen, with others planned in the coming months. Visit rideondundee.com to discover where your nearest station is.

And if you make frequent

trips around the city, there are subscription options that bring the price down. Become a monthly or annual member and the first 20 minutes of any journey will cost just 60p. After 20 minutes, the costs increase but are lower than the pay-as-you-go option.

With the upcoming Dundee Low Emission Zone, there’s never been a better time to start using green travel – and Embark Dundee’s e-bikes are the answer. What’s more, all Embark Dundee bikes are clean, in good working condition and available 24/7.
