Hertz launches electric bikes in the capital

Hertz is now offering electric bicycles to rent for visitors to London.

It claims to be the first major car rental company to offer the bikes, which travel at up to speeds of 15.5mph.

Twelve bikes are available for daily rental from Hertz’s Marble Arch location, for £20 per day.

With every hire, customers will receive full training, a lock, optional helmet and a copy of the AA Leisure Guide to London with suggested bike rides around the capital.
