MOBY Roll Out 100 New E-Bikes In Greystones

Wicklow County Council has launched two major climate mitigation initiatives aimed at enhancing sustainable transport and reducing operational emissions.

These projects represent significant progress in the Council’s Climate Action Plan and its commitment to a greener, cleaner future.

 MOBY E-Bike Sharing Scheme Expands to Greystones

In partnership with MOBY, Wicklow County Council will officially launch a public e-bike sharing scheme in the Greystones Municipal District on Monday, 26th May 2025.

This initiative brings 100 electric bikes to over 30 key locations across Greystones, including Delgany and Killincarrig. The scheme is designed to provide residents and visitors with a convenient, affordable, and sustainable transportation alternative.

The e-bike stations are strategically located to connect town centres, public transport links, schools, sports centres, tourist attractions and residential communities.

Riders can rent and return e-bikes at designated bike stands or virtual parking locations indicated in the MOBY MOVE app.

There are also plans to expand a similar scheme to Arklow, Wicklow Town, and Blessington in the near future.

 Decarbonising Council Operations with Electric Mowers

 Wicklow County Council has also rolled out three 100% electric Mean Green mowers in the Greystones, Bray and Baltinglass Municipal Districts.

These electric mowers, supplied by Dublin Grass Machinery mark a significant step forward in reducing emissions from public realm maintenance.

The electric mowers also eliminate the need for fuel storage and reduce servicing waste, providing both environmental and operational advantages.

Cathaoirleach of Greystones Municipal District Cllr. Tom Fortune, welcomed these developments, stating:

“We are delighted to introduce these climate mitigation measures in the Greystones Municipal District. MOBY’s innovative e-bike sharing scheme will enhance connectivity, reduce traffic congestion, and support our long-term goals for sustainable travel. The new electric mowers will also make a visible difference in places like Burnaby Park, where residents and visitors can enjoy a cleaner and quieter environment.”
