The Tourist and Trade Association group is set up to promote trade and tourism to benefit the community of Llanwrtyd Wells and the surrounding area. 

A spokesperson said: “The power of our bikes will enable people to explore the beautiful Cambrian mountain area.  

“We have seven Scott mountain bikes for hire and two Jorvik Trikes. All of our bikes are e-bikes. 

“We charge £60 a day for visitors to hire bikes, with a discount for residents with an LD54 postcode.  

“The bikes will be open to hire six days a week and closed on Tuesday, and can be booked from 10 am to 4pm.

“Hiring the bikes will be done from the website www.llanwrtydwheels.com. The website has a booking system and goes live on April 12.”

More information will also be available in the future on www.llanwrtyd.com, which is the town website. The Shared Prosperity Fund, the Electric Vehicle Active Travel scheme, has funded the e-bike project, with Powys Association of Voluntary Organisations administering the scheme.

Money has also been raised through various local activities.
