Live Active Leisure’s award-winning All Ability bike scheme is due to reopen for the summer season from Wednesday 6th April with three new additions to their offer, which supports people of all abilities to get out and enjoy the benefits of cycling.

Two electric trikes and one electric assisted wheelchair bike have been funded by the Energy Saving Trust’s eBike Grant Fund, providing the first new electric bikes to be owned by the Bell’s Sport Centre based fleet. 

Since its inception in 2016, All Ability Bikes has received funding from various partners including Perth & Kinross Council Common Good Fund, The Gannochy Trust, Cycling Scotland and The Baily Thomas Charitable Fund. 

The fleet now boasts 15 bikes in total including a side-by-side model which allows cyclists and their carer to ride together, and a semi-recumbent model which is an excellent option for people who struggle to sit upright for various reasons.

Ella Webley, All Ability Co-ordinator, commented, “We are thrilled to have added to our offer with the new ebikes which will ensure we can support even more people this summer.

“Out with the three new bikes we also have a wheelchair bike, three trikes, a hand cycle, a child’s trike, five solo bikes and another side-by-side.

“People can try a different bike each week in order to find the one best suited to their needs. Once they find one that works for them, they can continue to use it until they’re more confident and comfortable trying a different model.”

The bikes are available for anyone to hire, and individuals without carers who require assistance on a two-person bike can book the support of a qualified instructor.

Sessions run on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 to 16:00 and on selected Friday mornings. To book a session contact Ella at This email address is being protected from spambots.
