Would you like to participate and try it out?
Here’s what you need to do to become a test cyclist:
Insurance
You need to have private home insurance that covers the cost of the bike. Contact your insurance provider for more information. The electric bike is an Ecoride Ambassador. It has a maximum speed of 25 km/h and a motor power of 250 W. The new value is approximately SEK 24,995. You will be required to sign a transfer agreement when you receive the bike, making you responsible for it during the trial period.
Approved bike lock
We recommend that you secure the bike to a bike rack using an approved U-lock. A U-lock is not included. The bike is equipped with a frame lock.
Bike helmet recommended
For your safety, we recommend that you use a bike helmet. You will need to provide your own helmet. Participation in the project is otherwise free of charge.
Pick-up and return
You or a designated representative are responsible for picking up and returning the bike in Stenungsund on August 21 and October 7.
