As reported by Penarth Nub News yesterday Next Bikes made their way into the town centre and now another station has been pictured at the Esplanade.

Instructions explain that the e-bikes will only be able to be docked at electric bike stations. These are available in Penarth and Cardiff but not every Next Bike station is suitable.

You can ride the e-bikes wherever you want. They reach a speed of 25 km/h. However, you cannot take them in a car on a train.

The popular hire-a-bike scheme announced that they were looking to move into a trial period in Penarth last year with a fleet of 50 electric bikes.

This will be the first e-bike share scheme in Wales.

Following the success of the Next Bike cycle hire scheme in Cardiff, the Vale Council received requests for a similar system.

Take a look at our article from yesterday to find out more about the scheme here.
