Shark eBike hire will enable residents, students, workers, and visitors to make the most of Hornsea’s local tracks and quiet country roads.
The Trans Pennine route, apart from a couple of road crossings, is traffic-free from Hornsea until Hull with cafes and pubs to stop at. Attractions on the way include Honeysuckle Farm, around 2.5 miles from Hornsea, where visitors can see a variety of farm animals, and Burton Constable Hall.
Shark eBikes’ Rachael said: “My family have lived in the Hornsea area all my life and I am absolutely delighted to be launching our first eBike hire business in my hometown.
“After speaking with residents and tourists in the local area, I believe our project will enable people to enjoy our local area while also promoting a healthy lifestyle at an affordable cost.”
Shark eBikes has been shortlisted for Newcomer of the Year at the BikeBiz Awards 2022 in association with ArmaUrto – check out the full shortlist here.
