Electric Bicycles: Accidents
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Answer of 24 April 2026 to Question 128421, whether her Department has plans to collect data on collisions or injuries involving e-bikes operated through hire schemes.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Government's English Devolution and Community Empowerment Act will enable local leaders to license shared cycle schemes. The Secretary of State will set minimum licence conditions which could include data sharing requirements, such as on collisions and injuries. Data sharing requirements, alongside other aspects of licensing implementation, will be determined following public consultation.
