Electric Bicycles: Hire Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions they have had with e-bike hire operators on compliance with minimum age policies and user safety requirements.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Government is introducing a licensing regime for shared cycle services and this will be implemented through a combination of regulations and detailed guidance, following in-depth consultation.
In the meantime, Ministers and officials continue to discuss a range of matters with e-bike rental operators, including potential measures which may be included in the future licensing framework.
