An aspiration to see the introduction of electric cargo bike delivery services was included as part of the Isle of Wight Council’s successful Access Fund bid to the Department for Transport in 2016. Funding from the Access Fund has been earmarked to “pump prime” the introduction of such an operation on the Isle of Wight in 2019-20.
The electric cargo bike project is part of a wider ‘Cycle Service Delivery’ approach which also includes a project exploring how cycles can facilitate journeys made by organisations providing domiciliary care.
