The rollout of electric bikes is continuing as Aberdeen expands its Voi fleet.
The city is launching phase three of its Voi e-bike scheme, extending access to Persley, Danestone, Bridge of Don, Altens, Cove and Charleston.
More than 55,000 journeys have already been made since the e-bike scheme launched two months ago.
The University of Aberdeen has also approved new parking bays at its Old Aberdeen campus and Hillhead student accommodation, improving access for students.
The e-bikes can be hired through the free Voi app.
Users can claim their first 15 minutes free with the code SCOTLAND.
The pay-as-you-go price is 18p per minute or £1.75 for 20 minutes.
E-bikes are also free to unlock for the first three months of the scheme.
Voi currently operates similar services in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The fleet includes two models: the full-size Explorer 4, designed for commuters, and the lighter Explorer Light 1, featuring a lower step-through frame for easier access and shorter journeys.

Councillor Ian Yuill said: "It is great to see the Voi e-bikes being rolled out to more parts of the city.
"Having the e-bikes available in these areas means more people will be able to take advantage of using them."
Councillor Christian Allard said: "Lots of people have been using the e-bikes around the city centre which has been great to see.
"It’s great that so many trips have been taken on the e-bikes since they started in operation two months ago."
Harry Foskin, senior public policy manager at Voi, said: "We’re proud to be working with Aberdeen City Council to bring our latest generation of e-bikes to even more neighbourhoods across the city.
"Passing 55,000 rides in just two months shows how keen people in Aberdeen are to choose a convenient, low-carbon way to get around, and expanding into areas like Persley, Bridge of Don, Altens and Cove will help even more residents and students make sustainable everyday trips."
