"A taxpayer-backed firm wants to help end use of petrol and diesel delivery vans with a new electric bike amid rising demand for green transport.
The "Urban 200" was invented by three childhood friends who grew up building bikes together in their sheds.
Their company, Edinburgh-based PeddleSMART, is getting ready to launch its vehicle.
It will be built in a new factory employing ex-offenders and people with disabilities.
The premises at Ravenscraig, Motherwell, has been set up with a £400,000 grant from the economic development agency Scottish Enterprise."
