Acquisition of 60 Electrically Assisted Bicycles

This project consists of financing the acquisition of a fleet of 60 Electric Assistance Bikes and communication expenses. As part of a comprehensive policy to develop alternative modes of car use in urban areas, the SMTC-AC has set up a long-term bike rental service, consisting mainly of electric bikes (EVBs). Since 2017, the number of VAE rentals at the agency located on the Parvis de la Gare SNCF is greatly increasing thus leading to the creation of a waiting list, the number of bicycles is insufficient to meet all requests despite the regular purchase of new bikes. In addition, since the end of 2019 the SMTC-AC has implemented a relocated VAE rental service in outlying municipalities, on an experimental basis. In order to be able to meet the demand, and to continue to encourage the use of bicycles in urban and peri-urban environments, the SMTC-AC wishes to acquire an additional 60 EAVs in the first half of 2021.
