Santander Cycles Leicester was an electric bicycle sharing scheme covering the city of Leicester, United Kingdom. The scheme was a joint venture between Leicester City Council, the operator Ride On, Enzen Global as delivery partner and additional funding provided through sponsorship with Santander.[3]

After a small-scale launch to key workers,[4] the scheme was publicly launched on 14 April 2021 with 13 docking stations. A further 35 docking stations were planned.[3] The scheme ended in February 2023 after the company running it went into administration.[5]

Usage

To use the scheme, online registration is required and the purchase of a plan. Pay as you go, monthly and annual memberships are all available. Once a plan is activated, bikes can be reserved and unlocked at the docks using the dedicated smartphone application.[2]
