Hourbike

Hourbike addresses the needs of local councils and organisations alike by providing bike hire solutions across different environments. From automated bike hire schemes in cities such as CityBike in Liverpool to a small fleet of bikes available to residents in a care home such as Anchor Homes in Southampton. Hourbike will always provide intelligent, tailored solutions to its clients.

Working with the latest technology to provide the hardware, software, online facilities and data, Hourbike are at the forefront of bike hire development in the UK. 2016 will see the Company's first automated bike scheme that incorporates both conventional bicycles and electric bicycles from shared docks in Headington, Oxfordshire.

Hourbike’s operating model is to utilise local social enterprises where possible to fulfil the non specialist roles. The development of a programme to deliver bicycle maintenance skills to local individuals has significant benefit to both the local economy and Hourbike as an operator. The financial model maximises the commercial value of the physical assets, ensuring long term financial sustainability.
