'Fully Charged,' the Silverstone-based e-bike testing center, announced the continuation of its partnership with the Milton-Keynes Council. Over the last year, Fully Charged has offered a free-to-use e-bike sharing program in collaboration with the council where riders could rent an e-bike for up to four weeks at no cost to the rider. The program began with only six e-bikes, though the demand has been incredibly high with the bikes being rented nearly 24/7.
As part of the continued partnership, the company will increase the number of available bikes, while the city will increase the frequency of pickup and drop-off locations for said bikes. Additionally, the Milton-Keynes Council confirmed that it will host monthly events to brief participants on the details of the e-bike trials.
