Ahead of London’s incoming Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) charge expanding across the entirety of the Capital on 28 August, Dutch cycling brand Swapfiets is providing a helping hand to all motorists and commuters alike.

The company will be running a special one-off, discounted, introductory deal, which will be available to savvy and sustainable Londoners, offering them the chance to bypass the new £12.50 daily ULEZ charge and cruise into work on an e-bike instead.

The controversial new charge is creating confusion and concern amongst many drivers in Greater London, as people try to work out whether their existing car is compliant and if it isn’t – how it can be converted and exactly what the new government ‘scrappage scheme’ is. However, thanks to Swapfiets, the above stress and worry can be avoided with their new offering. 

The Dutch cycling brand believes that bikes are the key to more livable cities, and that a Swapfiets bike lives many lives, so with that in mind, they want to do their bit towards recycling AND supporting London’s aim to lower air pollution. However, the company appreciates the cost-of-living strain that many people are currently living under and are also keen to provide commuters with a cost effective and healthier alternative to driving into work.

The bike subscription service offers a range of bikes, including e-bikes and pedal bikes, with on demand maintenance and repairs, an AXA chain lock and replacements if stolen.

"Katarina Hlavata, UK Country Manager at Swapfiets, said: As a company, we know the upcoming ULEZ charge is causing considerable stress and confusion for many people who regularly drive into Central London for work, but as a brand, we also recognise the importance of taking active steps to help improve air quality in London."

She continued: “With many Londoners currently looking to cut costs, we wanted to ensure whatever we offered, actively supports the vital work the government is doing to improve air quality, whilst also providing a financial incentive to help encourage people to look at alternative ways of commuting.”
