Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 29 Oct, 13:59 · Archive

Glasgow's Voi e-bike hire scheme has recorded more than two million journeys since launching in November 2025. More than 119,000 people have used the bikes to collectively travel 6.3 million kilometres. Usage of the bikes is now 780% higher than under the previous operator.

August was the busiest month so far, with 333,015 hires, and a new daily record of 13,332 hires was set in late September. The typical journey is 3.1 kilometres and lasts about 16 minutes. Glasgow is served by more than 260 hire stations, with around 900 e-bikes available on average each day.

Councillor Angus Millar, city convener for transport and climate, said the milestone 'shows that cycle hire is becoming an increasingly important part of everyday travel in Glasgow' and that the bikes are 'giving people more choice in how they make everyday journeys – offering a practical and sustainable option that is evidently becoming part of many people's daily routines'.
