Ostend commits to green mobility with 25 RAIDA electric bikes




As an important step towards sustainability and healthy mobility, the city of Ostend officially received 25 e-bikes from RAIDA today. The presentation took place at the town hall, in the presence of representatives of the city and RAIDA.


Cycling for the future

RAIDA, one of the leading specialist shops for e-bikes and speed pedelecs, provided these e-bikes as part of a bike rental programme for employees of the city of Ostend. This initiative fits perfectly with the green mobility objectives of the coastal municipality. By using these high-quality e-bikes, the city's employees can commute to work in an environmentally friendly and healthy way.

With this rental formula, RAIDA offers not only the bikes, but also a complete service with assistance insurance and maintenance plan, which ensures peace of mind for employees. This makes it not only a practical choice for the city, but also a sustainable investment in the health and well-being of its staff.


Why RAIDA?

RAIDA distinguished itself from the six other bidders with its unique bicycle rental formula and its extensive expertise in the e-bike segment. Thanks to their network of stores in East and West Flanders, including RAIDA Oostende, they can offer an unrivalled service, with high-quality brands such as Stromer, Riese & Müller and TREK.


Mayor Bart Tommelein and Alderman Bart Plasschaert were present at the ceremony and stressed the importance of sustainable mobility for Ostend: "We are proud to be able to offer our municipal employees an environmentally friendly means of transport. Coming to work by bike is not only good for the environment, but also for the health of our employees."
