Free e-bikes for local charities

Published: 10 June 2026

Deal Town Council has six e-bikes that are available for transfer of ownership to local charitable organisations.

In 2020, as part of the Cycle Friendly Deal, a small fleet of electric bicycles was purchased so people could enjoy cycling, explore the local area and discover an alternative to driving.

As part of the council’s climate action work, we encourage and promote cycling and safe cycling routes around the town for health as well as the positive environmental benefits.

Mayor of Deal, Cllr Mike Eddy said: “We are keen that our e-bikes continue to provide enjoyment and give people the chance to get active as well as being environmentally friendly too.

“If you are a local charitable group that would benefit from your team going green, we’d encourage you to fill out the form and apply.”
