Belfast adds Beryl e-bikes to its bikeshare fleet

“The scheme supports our ambitions to create a better connected, low-carbon, climate resilient city and, with the boost that Beryl now bring, will deliver an improved experience for cyclists, designed to make their journey as easy, enjoyable and comfortable as possible.”

Beryl operates 17 bike, e-bike and e-cargo bike hire schemes across the UK, delivered in partnership with local councils.

“Belfast residents and visitors can now experience a modernised, upgraded, and expanded micromobility fleet – including 100 new e-bikes,” said Beryl CEO, Phil Ellis. “This incredible city now has a more convenient and sustainable way to travel, helping to reduce congestion and improve air quality for everyone.

“This is a substantial improvement to the Belfast Bikes programme that we are proud to introduce, alongside Belfast City Council and the Department for Infrastructure (DFI). We encourage everyone to download the convenient Beryl app to enable access to the new fleet across all 60 docking stations.”

As part of the new Beryl Belfast Bikes fleet, users benefit from flexible pay-as-you-go pricing, which includes a small ‘unlock’ fee and a straightforward per-minute charge which reduces the more you use the bikes.

For pay-as-you-go pedal bikes, there is a 50 pence unlock fee and it costs 7 pence per minute. For e-bikes, there is a £1 unlock fee and a usage charge of 14 pence per minute.

Discounted minute bundles, from 100 up to 3,000 minutes, are available and students benefit from an additional 25 per cent discount on bundles. Corporate membership packages are also available.
