Estarli has launched a new range of flexible eBike fleet packages designed to help organisations reduce short car and van journeys, support active travel and make cycling more accessible for staff, customers and communities.<\/p>\n
The new fleet offer covers Estarli\u2019s folding, hybrid and cargo eBike ranges, allowing organisations to choose bikes around real-world use cases rather than a one-size-fits-all fleet. There are several levels of package<\/a> businesses can select, ranging from a fully managed fleet offering to a straightforward outright fleet purchase.<\/p>\n Estarli\u2019s fleet offer is designed to help reduce the perceived complexity of adopting eBikes at an organisational level. Packages can include model selection, custom builds, branding, scheduled servicing, maintenance support, security and tracking options.<\/p>\n Oli Francis, co-founder of Estarli, said:\u00a0\u201cFor active travel to grow, eBikes need to be easy for organisations to adopt and easy for people to use. That means choosing the right bikes, keeping them serviced, making them accessible to different riders and giving organisations the confidence that they can become part of everyday operations.<\/p>\n \u201cNot every journey needs a car or a van. For many local trips \u2014 visiting sites, moving between meetings, carrying equipment, doing school or community work \u2014 an eBike can be faster, cleaner, cheaper and easier.<\/p>\n \u201cThe important thing is flexibility. Some organisations need folding bikes that can go on trains or be stored easily. Others need hybrid bikes for longer staff journeys, or cargo bikes for tools, deliveries, children and community projects. Our fleet offer is designed to help organisations build the right setup for how they actually move.\u201d<\/p>\n Estarli\u2019s fleet launch builds on its experience supplying commercial bike fleets<\/a>, including the London Bicycle Tour Company, which has invested in over 20 Estarli eBikes for its guided tours and hire operation.<\/p>\n For bike hire, tourism and multi-rider environments, Estarli says ease of use is critical. Features such as step-through frame options, simple controls, low-maintenance drivetrains and configurable builds\/branding can help make e-bike fleets suitable for a wide range of riders, including those who may not cycle regularly.<\/p>\n The launch comes as councils, employers and community organisations look for more practical ways to reduce emissions, cut transport costs, ease congestion and address parking pressure.<\/p>\n Francis said: \u201cA lot of organisations are interested in active travel but don\u2019t always know where to start. They may not know which bikes are right, how servicing will work, how to manage usage, or whether staff and riders will feel confident.<\/p>\n \u201cThat is where a supported fleet approach matters. We can help organisations take the first step, whether that is one or two bikes for a council or community group, or a larger managed fleet for a business, campus, hire operator or tourism provider.\u201d<\/p>\n Another example is London Colney Parish Council, which acquired an Estarli e-cargo bike through grant funding to reduce reliance on cars and vans for local council tasks.<\/p>\n The council has used the bike for litter picks, recycling collections, tree planting, school engagement, community visits and local environmental projects. Its use has shown how an e-cargo bike can support day-to-day council work while also acting as a visible active travel tool within the community.<\/p>\n In a recent Estarli video<\/a>, London Colney Parish Council environment officer and local councillor Matt Fisher said the e-cargo bike had proved particularly useful for short local journeys, avoiding parking problems and making community work more efficient.<\/p>\n \u201cDoing this in the back of a car or a van is just ridiculous,\u201d he said. \u201cThe little errands of running into town or doing something as a councillor has been super efficient. I don\u2019t have to find a parking space. I literally just pull up outside someone\u2019s door.\u201d<\/p>\n The new fleet packages are now available for businesses, councils, schools, campuses, estates, hotels, tour operators, hire providers and community organisations.<\/p>\n Estarli launched its updated e28.X<\/a> with a new 3-speed configuration, earlier this year, which is now available alongside the existing 2-speed option.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
