What is Nottinghamshire Wheels to Work?

Nottinghamshire Wheels to Work was launched in March 2002, and offers the loan of a moped to help people get over the initial problem of getting to work, training or education.

Applicants borrow a moped for a maximum of twelve months. This allows plenty of time to save up towards a more permanent solution to transport problems.

How do I find out if I could qualify?

This website has information about the criteria needed to join the Nottinghamshire Wheels to Work project, and a question and answer section for each of the five requirements. Click here for more information.

How much does it cost to take part in this project?

The costs to the applicant are fuel, oil, bulbs and £10 per week towards maintenance (£8 for those attending training or education and not working at all.)

Clients also pay a bond (usually £50) which is refunded when the bike is returned and in good condition.

In the event of the moped being damaged, the user will be responsible for the cost.

If there is a claim on the insurance because of theft or damage to a moped, the user will be responsible for the £250 excess.

What is provided by the Nottinghamshire Wheels to Work project?

Successful applicants will loan a moped for a maximum of twelve months, complete with a heavy-duty lock. All other costs, such as insurance, servicing, road tax, breakdown, safety equipment and the Compulsory Basic Training (CBT course) are covered by the project.
