Walking and cycling
Nottingham set to welcome new e-bike hire scheme 2023!
Electric bikes will be available to hire in Nottingham from spring 2023 thanks to a partnership between leading electric vehicle company Lime and Nottingham City Council.

The new e-bikes feature
- Built-in front and rear lights – with rear lights that brighten when the bike brakes
- Increased motor power to help riders easily climb hills and restart their ride when stopped/stationary at red traffic lights or zebra crossings
- A phone holder, allowing riders to easily navigate and follow directions without having to stop and check directions
- Built-in baskets to help people carry shopping or bags
- Range of 64km with batteries monitored by Lime so they can be charged when they run low

Public transport
Linkbus service changes
Following a consultation earlier in the year, the Council has made the difficult decision to reduce the frequency of some of the Linkbus network as a result of necessary budget savings worsened by recent inflationary pressures.
To limit the impact on passengers no service has been completely withdrawn, but some of the services will now operate on fewer days. For more information on the changes, please visit: www.transportnottingham.com/linkbus
