Updating the
list of ebike charging facilities on the IOW on CycleWight website.
An
attempt is being made to update the list on the CycleWight website identifying
places on the IOW offering charging facilities for ebikes.
The
list is out of date and lockdowns have prevented visits being made to places on
the current list to check whether facilities are still available.
While
most of the current list is based on cafes and pubs, a new approach has been
suggested to identify if there are businesses on the IOW that may be interested
in offering charging facilities for ebikes in return for a small fee. For example, various enquiries have shown
that some riders would be willing to pay £5 to ensure there is a charging
facility that is accessible, secure and can be booked in advance. The person riding the ebike would have to
provide their own charger. In many
cases, batteries can be removed from the ebike and all that is required is
access to a normal household 3 pin plug.
There
may be owners of other types of businesses, for example camping sites, who may
be interested in encouraging the green agenda as well as the health benefits
that come from cycling.
If
this is of interest, please complete the short questionnaire
to establish what facilities can be offered, times the facilities would be
available, as well as the costs involved.
Also how the facility can be booked in advance.
Thank
you,
