Sometimes, it's just about changing habits! more and more trades people are commuting without the use of motorised transport - and enjoying the benefits.

"My commute is perfectly doable on an e-bike. It now seems like madness that I was driving around, running an engine and getting stuck in traffic every day.

"I can't believe that more trades people are not doing it. There are so many people that don't need to carry hundreds of tools around with them every day. You can fit more than enough into an e-cargo bike...

"It's going to take a bit of saving up to buy my own e-cargo bike, but I already know that it will be valuable for myself and my business."

Since taking out a free loan via our scheme, stonemason Steve Roche (The Stone & Letter Workshop) from Sheffield has swapped his van for an e-cargo bike, saving money and boosting his fitness in the process.
