When you're running a holiday park — or nine of them — the logistics of on-site mobility add up fast. Food delivery, grocery runs, guest services, bike hire. Petrol vehicles are expensive, slow to insure, and hard to brand consistently. Haven, one of the UK's largest holiday park operators, found a better way.
Haven recently took delivery of 18 Eskuta SX-250 e-bikes across nine of their UK sites, making them one of the largest single operators running Eskuta as part of their guest experience infrastructure.
How Holiday Parks Use the SX-250
The SX-250 fits naturally into the holiday park environment in several distinct ways, and Haven's rollout covers more than one of them.
On-site food and takeaway delivery. Most larger parks offer some form of on-site takeaway — for holidaymakers and, in some cases, for customers in the surrounding area. The SX-250 delivery model, fitted with a lockable cargo box, gives parks a cost-effective and zero-emission way to run that service at scale without the running costs of a car or moped.
Grocery delivery to guests. Parks with an on-site shop have used the SX-250 to offer grocery delivery directly to pitches and lodges — a guest convenience that's difficult to offer sustainably any other way.
Guest bike hire. Some parks have chosen the SX-250 leisure model as part of a bike rental scheme, giving holidaymakers a way to explore the local area. The moped-inspired design and full electric assist make it a more appealing hire option than a conventional pedal bike.
Custom Branding
Both the delivery and leisure models can be fully custom branded — panels finished in the park's own colours and livery. For a business like Haven, where brand visibility matters across a large physical site and beyond its perimeter, this is a meaningful benefit. Every delivery and every ride is a branded touchpoint.
In Their Own Words
"We know that Holiday Park Operators require flexible solutions to their mobility needs. The SX-250 offers this freedom of motion in an affordable, cost-effective and sustainable package. Importantly, our bikes can be completely custom branded meaning your brand is always on display wherever the bike goes."
— Ian O'Connor, Managing Director, Eskuta
What It Costs to Run
- 10p per charge — a full six-hour charge costs around 10p
- ~40km range per charge — more than enough for a full day's on-site operation
- No insurance required — the SX-250 is EAPC-classified, so no vehicle insurance is needed by law
- No road tax, no MOT — as a legally classified electric bicycle, neither applies
- No licence required — riders aged 16 and over for delivery; 14 and over for leisure use
