Whether you like them or not, the new e-bikes for hire in Guildford are definitely being used.

Beryl told The Dragon over a week ago ago that there had been nearly 12,000 journeys made on the bikes and that is well before all the bike bays have been installed.

So here on the Dragon we thought it would be interesting to see how easy it would be to hire one of the new bikes, having downloaded the Beryl app, and what they were like to ride.

We asked well-known Guildford personality Ben Darnton, of Ben’s Records, an experienced e-bike rider to be our guinea pig and proceeded to the e-bike hire bay outside the public library at the top of North Street.

Please watch the short video to see what happened…
