Santander Cycles Leicester
# Santander Cycles Leicester

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.

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

The cycle scheme is not to be confused with Santander Cycles which is run by Transport for London and only caters to the London area.

## 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.
