Residents of Warwick district can now win a Batribike electric bike worth up to £1,599 simply by tracking their active travel with the Choose How You Move in Warwick District challenge.

The challenge, in partnership with BetterPoints, is completely free to join and participate in, and aims to encourage residents across the district to get active and choose a sustainable means of travel when out and about anywhere in the district - whether in their local area or when visiting and supporting the town centres.

Participants earn 'BetterPoints' for each sustainable journey they make, which can be converted to high street vouchers to redeem in their favourite big name or independent shops such as Zero Store, Greenbean, Bright Heart Holistics or Bread & Co, or at the weekly markets in Kenilworth and Warwick.

Alternatively, points can be donated to a range of charities including Warwickshire Pride and The Myton Hospices.

To be in with a chance of winning a brand-new e-bike, residents just need to make sure they're signed up to the challenge on the BetterPoints app and complete the e-bike quiz.

Cllr James Kennedy, portfolio holder for climate change, said: "Choosing to travel sustainably can improve your health as well as the health of others by actively reducing emissions in the district.

"It's great that we're able to offer the opportunity to win an e-bike – not only does it allow you to travel sustainably, but it also helps to take the sting out of the hills! I'd encourage everyone who is thinking about changing their travel habits to sign up to the challenge and get the encouragement and motivation needed to take that first step."

The Choose How You Move in Warwick District challenge has been running since January 2021 and was recently extended to May 2024 due to its success.

Over 1,600 users have registered with the app, logging 1.1 million miles of sustainable travel, saving 257 tonnes in carbon emissions.

To start earning rewards, residents just need to download the BetterPoints app from the App Store or Google Play, register and join the programme.
