About Us

Our History

What originally began as the Kintyre Bike Reuse project in 2014 has now developed into Kintyre E-Bike Hire.

The reuse project was originally formed to help the Kintyre community and to save bikes from ending up in landfills.
The project sought to save bikes and offer them to people
at affordable prices.

Infrastructure was set up and the Bike Reuse and Repair service was born. This included purchasing a storage container to operate from, which was powered by solar panels. Bike stands, tools and equipment were all added to transform the recycled storage container into a fully fledged bike repair workshop.

Three bike technicians were trained to industry recognised standards, and we were able to increase participation in cycling and generate more enthusiasm for recycling.

The scheme gave more people access to bikes, and thus reduced the need for carbon-heavy transport methods,
while also promoting a healthier and more active lifestyle.

New Opportunities

This new e-bike project takes things one step further, allowing
the people of Kintyre to use bicycles for everyday journeys with the added power of electricity. This will reduce the cars on the road, limit emissions, encourage a healthier lifestyle and teach people new skills.

E-Bikes are also becoming more and more popular with tourists
seeking to explore Scotland’s rugged terrain. Visitors to the Kintyre
area will benefit from the addition of e-bikes and have greater access
to everything Kintyre has to offer.

Our service includes the sale, hire and maintenance of bikes and e-bikes.
All servicing and maintenance is carried out by trained technicians
who are highly skilled at what they do.
