Electric Bicycles and Electric Scooters
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help tackle the illegal modification of e-bikes and e-scooters.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
The police have powers available to them to tackle the illegal use of e-scooters and e-bikes and we expect police to deploy them appropriately.
The Home Office has also established a taskforce, which includes representatives from across Government, Policing and Fire and Rescue Services to help tackle the fire risks linked to lithium-ion batteries, e-bikes and e-scooters.
