What is Wheels 2 Work?
Wheels to Work is a moped hire scheme. It is for people who have difficulty in traveling to work, training or education due to the lack of suitable public or private transport.
If you struggle with a lack of public transport due to the remoteness of your home or because you work unsociable hours the Wheels 2 Work scheme may well be able to help you.
For further information about this service, please call the office on 01653 699059 or you can also email w2w@ryedalect.org
How Does the Scheme Work?
We can hire you a 50cc or 110cc moped. We akso have electric mopeds available. During the loan period, you are encouraged to save up for a vehicle of your own. You can use our mopeds for social trips too.
You will need a CBT certificate (compulsory basic training) but we can help you to arrange this, as well as giving you access to cut-price protective gear (helmet, jacket, gloves).
