About the Back on Your Bike program

As a local business dedicated to fostering wellness and environmental sustainability, we are excited to offer this initiative, which is designed to encourage members of our community, particularly senior members as well as people with disability, to rediscover the joy of cycling using electric bikes.

The program offers a unique opportunity for participants to experience the benefits of electric bikes without any financial commitment. We provide access to four electric bikes and helmets, allowing participants to explore selected Council areas in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.

‘This grant is an honour and will enable us to make a real difference, promoting health, sustainability, and community engagement. We can't wait to see our neighbours exploring the beautiful routes on our electric bikes. Chargd have found such generous support from the Council since we’ve moved into the area and can’t thank them enough,’ stated Jakeb Barry, Owner of Chargd.

We are opening this program for bookings soon. More details to come.
