Electric Bicycles: Greater London

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what information her Department holds on the incident rate per mile ridden for dockless e-bikes in London.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Department does not currently collect specific data on collisions or injuries involving e-bikes operated through hire schemes.

We will consult comprehensively on all aspects of licensing for shared cycle schemes, including potential data-sharing requirements in due course.

We will then implement licensing through a combination of regulations and guidance.
