I'm still trying to decide if the new ebike hire prices are good or not. Considering the new Voi bikes are meant to be operational by 10th Nov in Glasgow things are very quiet so basing prices on their Edinburgh offering.
Payg will be 49p to unlock and 11p a minute with various prepay blocks then £29.99 monthly subscription but that only covers 300 minutes each month . If you have a 30 min commute each day then that's not especially generous imho.
We will see.

Edinburgh's new bike hire scheme starts today, covering the city centre. (This article implies that the bikes can't be used outside that area, which seems bonkers. If I'm mistaken, I'm sure someone will correct me!)

It would appear one of the new bikes has appeared opposite my flat!

Get the daft prices down maybe. I can hire an electric car cheaper by the hour than some of the current bikes. #news #Cycling #CycleHire #Glasgow https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/25421480.new-cycle-hire-scheme-provider-lined-glasgow/

Not sure how robust Glasgow's hire bikes are (they get a lot of use & abuse) but the last price hike made electric car hire a cheaper option in some cases. We'll see how Edinburgh does. #news #Edinburgh #Cycling #CycleHire https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdj2p32jneeo

Looking to hire a bike? Just noticed the self-service Brompton hire station in Empire Square, Penge. That's the entrance to Iceland/Wilko/Peacocks. Is it new as I haven't noticed it before and I have one?

A much better solution for intermodel travel than the alternatives. Although it is the best folder it is a proper bike as capable as any for long or short distances.
