Riding Passes replace Minute Bundles in West Midlands on the 4th September 2023. The new passes provide a range of flexible options that allow you to ride from as little as 6p a minute in West Midlands.
The following three passes can be used on all vehicle types (e-Scooters, e-Bikes and Pedal Bikes):
Pass | Expiry | Minutes | Cost | E-vehicle unlock fee | Pedal bike unlock fee | Equivalent cost per minute | Journey cap |
Day Pass | 1 Day | 60 | £9 | Free | Free | 15p | None |
Flexi Pass | 30 Days | 300 | £32 | Free | Free | ~11p | 30 mins |
Commuter Pass | 30 Days | 600 | £36 | £1 | Free | 6p | 30 mins |
There is also a bike-only pass (e-bike and Pedal Bikes only):
Pass | Expiry | Minutes | Cost | e-Bike unlock fee | Pedal bike unlock fee | Equivalent cost per journey | Journey Cap
|
Bike Only Pass | 30 Days | 100 | £8 | £1 | Free | 8p | None |
If I buy a Riding Pass, when does it start?
Your pass will activate at the point that you purchase the pass. Depending on which pass you choose, it will expire after 24 hours or 30 days.
We recommend purchasing the pass at the point you are ready to ride in order to maximise your time.
How long can I ride for?
With the Day Pass, there is no limit to how long your journey can be (within the 60 minutes included in the pass).
With the Flexi and Commuter pass, each journey is limited to 30 minutes. You can continue to ride for longer than 30 minutes but each additional minute will be charged at our Pay-As-You-Ride rate:
Pedal Bikes - 5p a minute
e-Bikes - 10p a minute
e-Scooters - 20p a minute
What happens if I use all the minutes before the pass expires?
Once you've used up all the minutes your pass will no longer be active, so you can go ahead and buy a new one.
If you don't buy a new one any further minutes will be charged at our Pay-As-You-Ride rate:
Pedal Bikes - 5p a minute
e-Bikes - 10p a minute
e-Scooters - 20p a minute
I recently bought a Minute Bundle and still have remaining minutes, what happens to them?
Your Minute Bundle is still yours and you can continue to use it until you have run out of minutes.
If you buy one of our new Riding Passes this will get used first to ensure you can get the most out of it before it expires.
Can I still buy a Minute Bundle?
No, Minute Bundles have now been replaced by our new Riding Passes which offer better value.
