Brighton & Hove City Council's Environmental Projects Team recently trialled the CityQ Passenger on real working routes across Brighton city centre — bin site visits, resident queries, narrow back streets and cycle lanes.
Their words say it better than we can:
"Anyone can use it — that's a huge bonus. You waste so much time finding a parking spot, but this saved so much time. Around 5 minutes per bin stop, half an hour saved on a single outing."
— Adam Kerry & Oli Kyndt, Environmental Projects Team, Brighton & Hove City Council
That half hour wasn't saved by going faster. It was saved by never having to look for parking at all.
CityQ is certified under EN15194 and EN17860 — legally a bicycle under UK law. Which means:
🅿️ Free parking at every stop — no meter, no bay, no fine risk
💷 No Congestion Charge, no ULEZ, no road tax, no MOT
🪪 No driving licence required — anyone on the team can ride it
🚲 Full cycle lane access across Brighton city centre
For a council team doing multiple site visits a day across a dense urban centre, those four things together change what the working day actually looks like.
One trial. Genuine interest from the Head of Fleet. Plans already in place to go further.
