Riders can now save money by paying for their journeys up to a year in advance by using the new Minute Bundle offer, available through the Beryl app. 

The offer allows users to buy 100 minutes for £15 but waives the £1 unlock fee every time they ride and allows the minutes to be used any time within 12 months of purchase.* 

The new offer is designed to maximise flexibility for customers and help make sustainable transport even more affordable. It will run alongside existing payment options, including Pay As You Ride as well as the 30-Day, 7-Day and 2-Day Passes. 

The Beryl Annual Rider Report for 2023 showed us that, of all the riders asked in Brighton, 97% said convenience and 92% said cost was either somewhat important or very important to them when using Beryl BTN Bikes. 

Beryl CEO, Phil Ellis, said: “Our schemes are all about breaking down the barriers to active travel and encouraging as many people as possible out of their cars and onto two wheels.

“We listen to our users and know, from speaking directly to them, just how much value they place on the cost-effectiveness and convenience of our bikes and e-bikes.

“By acting on this feedback and delivering the improvements that our riders want, we can help contribute towards reducing traffic congestion and carbon emissions and improving air quality.”

Since the Beryl BTN Bikes scheme launched on Friday 31 March 2023, it has generated nearly 133,000 journeys across nearly 436,000km - the equivalent of nearly 11 journeys around the Earth. According to direct feedback from riders, over 18,000 of these journeys have directly replaced car, van, taxi or motorbike journeys. According to industry calculations, this has saved more than 4.5 tonnes of carbon emissions - a significant contribution to reducing traffic congestion and improving regional air quality. 

A B-Corp registered company, Beryl is recognised for meeting exceptional standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. 

Beryl also designs and assembles its own products and industry-leading technology in the UK. This contributes to national industry by creating jobs, apprenticeships and opportunities and maintains Beryl’s autonomy over the quality and durability of its products. It also removes the need for mass transportation from abroad, reducing the company’s carbon footprint. 

You can hire a Beryl e-bike through the Beryl app, available for free download on the App Store for iOS, and the Google Play Store for Android users. 

Once you have registered, simply use the app to find your nearest bike, tap to unlock it and off you go!

When you’re finished, make sure you park up in one of our designated Beryl bays and get on with the rest of your day. During the first phase, bikes must be returned to active bays. You may incur a charge if bikes are left at bays which are currently not in use.
