The council said it is "ideal for residents and visitors to the town" and can be used for shopping trips or days out in and around the area.

A spokesman added: "The community e-cargo bike is one of several bike hire schemes available in Saffron Walden and is part of the town-wide Clean Air Project which aims to raise awareness of air pollution and enable more sustainable ways to travel."

The e-cargo bike can be hired at £3 an hour by downloading the OurBike app.
