SPECIAL INVITATION - THE ZEN e-BIKE LIBRARY WILL BE LAUNCHING SOON WITH YOUR HELP!

ZEN successfully received a grant from the Queensland Government Bike Riding Enhancement Program for our innovative Noosa e-Bike Library (a first in Queensland)

. We now have the five e-bikes which will go on loan, but before we officially launch the project and offer our service to the broader Noosa Shire community we'd like to test out the borrowing system among ZEN supporters

The aim of the trial is to test out our forms and admin processes, as well as the delivery and pickup experience. So we'd really appreciate your constructive and frank feedback after the loan period.

Initial details are available on the ZEN website here

Please be sure and read the pre-loan information pack which has a link on the webpage. And we ask you to complete the pre-loan survey here

Have fun and enjoy your ride!
