Electric Bicycles: Exports

Asked by Pippa HeylingsLiberal DemocratDepartment for Business and TradeTabled Answered 18 March 2025UIN 36854

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of increasing British exports of (a) e-bikes and (b) pedal cycles.

Answered by Gareth Thomas

Growing the economy is a key mission for the Government, and we recognise the importance of boosting UK exports in achieving this. We are working hard to ensure that UK businesses, including those that sell e-bikes and pedal cycles, have the support they need to sell to the world and grow.

As part of our work on a new trade strategy and a small business strategy, we are looking at further proposals to help UK businesses, including those that sell e-bikes and pedal cycles, export more.
