These free, one-hour sessions take place in each of the Making cycling e-asier locations, where experts will be on hand to assess your skills and requirements and guide you through e-cycling to give you the confidence to get riding quickly and easily.
Our team will provide you with an e-cycle; helmets aren’t necessary but we can provide one if you want – or you can bring your own.

The session will cover some cycling skills but rest assured, there is no test, pass or fail involved. Our aim is to give you the skills and advice you need to confidently start your e-cycling journey.
Making cycling e-asier offers free one-month loans of a wide range of electric bikes and cycles in different sizes to meet your needs, including e-bikes, non-standard e-cycles and e-cargo bikes.
With e-cycles provided by top brands, you’ll also receive accessories such as a battery charger, lights and a lock, along with expert support.
Plus, Cycling UK has you covered with our valuable membership. When you successfully sign up for a free e-cycle loan, you’re eligible for a three-month Cycling UK membership for free, providing you with excellent discounts with high street retailers and peace of mind insurance with Yellow Jersey.
