Posted 25 May 2026
Hours: Full-time (35 hrs) and part-time (18 or 25 hrs) roles available, with opportunities to pick up extra shifts Pay: Hourly rate plus commission — at least London Living Wage, minimum National Living Wage Location: London Pedal Me is on a mission to take motor vehicle journeys off London's roads. We do it exclusively with e-cargo bikes — carrying everything from parcels and pallets to passengers, across the city. The role You'll be trained to carry loads of up to 150kg, rising to 300kg when towing a trailer or carrying passengers. Central to our approach is "low risk" cycling — an evidence-based method that doesn't explicitly require a helmet, but does require skill, awareness and good road-craft. We'll train you in it, and we'll expect you to demonstrate it consistently on the job. A working knowledge of the UK Highway Code is expected, particularly the sections covering cyclists and pedestrians. You can find it at highwaycodeuk.co.uk. Hours and shift pattern Full-time shifts run 7 to 8 hours. Expect early starts, evening shifts and the occasional weekend. Our busiest days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, so we're especially keen to hear from people who can cover those. Pay and benefits You'll be employed by Pedal Me (not self-employed), with an hourly rate plus commission. We pay holiday pay, sick pay, pension and National Insurance contributions — the full package. What we're looking for You should already be cycling regularly around London — this is a job for confident, experienced city riders, not a place to learn from scratch. You'll need to be comfortable working in all weather; we only limit our service in genuinely exceptional conditions. We provide some uniform, but you're expected to own suitable clothing for the road. Before training starts We're legally required to check your right to work in the UK, and you'll need to pass a basic eyesight test — reading a numberplate at 20 metres — before any training begins.
