FIRM URGES USERS TO LOOK AFTER BIKES

Hundreds of Beryl bikes vandalised

HUNDREDS of electric Beryl Bikes have been vandalised or gone missing since they arrived in the city less than a year ago. The company behind the rentable e-bike scheme said it sometimes needs to get divers or police to retrieve the bikes from underwater or from people's homes.

London-based company Smidsy Ltd, which runs the Beryl Bikes scheme, urged people to look after the bicycles and not smash them up or fail to return them. It said it will call in police to investigate thefts or criminal damage and can ban people from using the vehicles.

Smidsy introduced the bikes to Plymouth in March 2023 and is working towards having a 500-strong fleet for hire from more than 90 sites in the city with the Royal William Yard and St Budeaux due to be added this year. But it has today revealed that last year there were 237 reports of vandalism to its bikes.
