Glasgow's Voi E-Bikes Hit Major Milestone: 7.29 Million Minutes Ridden

City's red fleet clocks 455,000 trips as Queens Park Station and St Enoch Square emerge as busiest hubs

GLASGOW — Glasgow's Voi e-bike scheme has hit its first multi-million-minute milestone, with riders clocking up 7.29 million minutes of ride time across 455,000 individual trips since launching.

The figures, released this week, show the strength of demand for sustainable, on-demand transport in the city. The fleet is now averaging 16-20 minutes of ride time per bike per day, pointing to consistent, everyday use rather than just occasional leisure rides.

Data on parking locations shows a clear pattern of integration with public transport and city centre footfall. Since November 25, over 22,000 hires and returns have been recorded at just two stations alone.

The busiest parking locations are now confirmed as:

1. St Enoch Square
2. Queens Park Railway Station
3. Central Station

The dominance of Queens Park Railway Station and St Enoch Square - which together account for the 22,000+ hires and returns - highlights how riders are using Voi for first- and last-mile journeys, linking cycling with rail and subway trips.

"The initial usage has exceeded expectations," a Voi spokesperson said. "Glasgow has embraced e-bikes as part of its daily commute. Seeing such high numbers at transport interchanges like Queens Park and Central Station shows that people are choosing greener, faster, cleaner journeys and combining modes of transport."

The scheme's coral-red e-bikes have become a familiar sight across the Southside, City Centre and West End, parked in designated bays from George Square to the transport hubs. The 16-20 minute daily average per bike indicates a high utilisation rate for a city fleet, comparable with some of Voi's most successful UK markets.

For Glasgow City Council, which has set ambitious active travel targets as part of its Net Zero ambitions, the numbers are a positive sign. With over 7 million minutes ridden, the scheme has already offset thousands of short car journeys.

Glasgow's sustainable travel is growing — and counting. The operator says it plans to continue expanding bay locations based on demand data.

Six months on, Glasgow's cycle hire boom shows no sign of slowing
Glasgow's cycle hire scheme is on a roll - and the numbers tell the story.

Just six months after new operator Voi took the helm, usage has surged, with rides up 311% compared to the same period last year, as more people turn to hire bikes to get around the city.

Since last November, the scheme has grown month on month. In that time, riders have clocked up an incredible 455,000 trips, spending a combined 7.29 million minutes in the saddle.

The latest data also shows continued uptake, with 46,000 individual riders hiring a Voi e-bike in the last six months.

The boom ties in with a major expansion of the network, with dozens of new Voi stations popping up across Glasgow. This wider spread has made it easier than ever to hire a bike for the commute, a quick trip across town or to meet up with friends.

There are now 171 Voi bike stations across the city - sixty more than this time last year, with new stations being added every week. The expanding network is helping bring convenient, low‑carbon travel to more neighbourhoods than ever before.

Some locations are proving especially popular. The University of Glasgow near Byres Road has emerged as the city's busiest Voi station, logging 23,517 rides in just six months - a clear sign that fast, flexible travel thrives when in the right place. Close behind are the Voi stations outside Queen's Park railway station and at St Enoch Square - each recording more than 22,000 rides since November, cementing their status as key hubs for people on the move.

And the new bikes are working hard. Each one has been hired on average almost three times a day over the last six months, pointing to strong, consistent demand right across the network.

Cycle boom in Glasgow as Voi electric bike hires soar past 1 million
A cycling revolution is gathering pace in Glasgow as the city’s popular Voi electric bike hire scheme continues to smash records, with hires now soaring past the one million mark.

The milestone highlights a dramatic rise in demand for greener and more accessible travel across the city, with thousands of Glaswegians and visitors choosing electric bikes for commuting, shopping, leisure rides and nights out.

Since Voi launched its fully electric public cycle hire scheme in late 2025, the service has expanded rapidly across Glasgow with more than 1,000 e-bikes and hundreds of parking locations now available citywide. Early figures showed the scheme had already surpassed 170,000 rides within just a few months of launching, before usage continued climbing at record pace throughout 2026.

City leaders say the popularity of the bikes is helping reduce car journeys, ease congestion and encourage healthier lifestyles while making travel around Glasgow cheaper and more convenient.
The dockless-style system allows riders to pick up and leave bikes at designated parking bays throughout the city, including busy transport hubs, shopping areas, parks and residential neighbourhoods. Recent expansions have added dozens of new stations in response to soaring demand.

The electric bikes, operated by Voi, replaced the city’s previous nextbike scheme and made Glasgow the first UK city to operate a fully electric public cycle hire network.
Cycling campaigners have welcomed the success, saying it shows people are eager for affordable and environmentally friendly transport when the infrastructure is available.

With usage continuing to rise, Glasgow City Council is expected to explore further expansion of the network, with more bikes, bays and routes planned in the months ahead as the city continues its push towards more sustainable transport.
