Edinburgh (Edinburgh Daily News) February 4, 2026 – New locations for Edinburgh’s expanding e-bike hire scheme have been announced as it enters its fourth stage of growth.
The City of Edinburgh Council has revealed fresh areas for the dockless electric bike programme operated by Voi Technology. Riders will soon access bikes in Roseburn, Bruntsfield, Morningside, and Edinburgh University’s King’s Buildings, according to reporting from Midlothian View.
What areas will the e-bike scheme cover next?
Further expansion will bring the service to Stockbridge and Inverleith, as confirmed by The Edinburgh Reporter. These additions build on the initial city centre rollout, where users currently find around 30 bikes via a mobile app at spots like Haymarket and Waverley.
As reported by Sarah Junik of SEStran, colleagues tested the bikes on a chilly morning, noting the convenience of dockless operation despite occasional challenges in locating pairs of available e-bikes.
How has the scheme progressed so far?
The trial, launched earlier by the City of Edinburgh Council in partnership with Swedish firm Voi Technology, aims to encourage active and sustainable travel options. SEStran highlighted its alignment with regional goals for healthier, eco-friendly transport.
What feedback have early users provided?
Initial testers praised the initiative for enabling sustainable choices without personal investment in e-bikes or storage. The scheme supports broader efforts like SEStran’s People and Place programme to promote environmentally friendly travel across the region.
What are the next steps for the expansion?
The two-year trial continues to grow, with no specific timeline announced for the new zones. City officials view it as a key step in fostering greener commuting in Edinburgh.
Further details on the e-bike hire scheme are available through the City of Edinburgh Council and operator Voi Technology.
