Wheels to Work

A new transport scheme is now operating in East Hampshire.

Wheels to Work is a moped loan scheme for people aged between 16-25 who want to access employment and training opportunities.

To be eligible for the scheme users must:-

• Live in East Hampshire
• Have no access to suitable public transport
• Have no access to private transport
• Need to access employment or employment related training; or are actively seeking work (need to attend interviews etc)
• Be referred by an agency, employer or, where this is not possible, have referred themselves.

Mopeds can be loaned between 3-12 months and all users will have to attend Compulsary Basic Training. 

All mopeds are insured, taxed and MOT and a breakdown recovery service is provided.  All mopeds are 50cc and users will need to apply for a provisional license prior to using a moped.

There will be a £15 weekly charge to loan a moped ( an initial downpayment of four weeks' charges will be held as a deposit)
