Here’s what you need to do to become a test cyclist:
Insurance
You need to have a private home insurance policy that covers the cost of the bike. Contact your insurance company for more information. The e-bike is an Ecoride Ambassador with a maximum speed of 25 km/h and a motor output 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 test period.
Approved bike lock
We recommend that you lock the bike to a bike rack with an approved U-lock. A U-lock is not included. The bike is equipped with a frame lock.
Bicycle helmet recommended
For your safety, we recommend using a bicycle helmet. You provide your own helmet. Apart from that, participation in the project is free of charge.
Pick-up and return of the bike
You or an appointed representative are responsible for picking up and returning the bike on the specified dates of the test period.
