PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(15 September 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to help ensure that (a) hire and (b) e-bike operators comply with safety standards.

Asked by:
Mr Paul Kohler (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

All e-cycles used on the road, including those in shared schemes, must comply with regulatory requirements. However, while they can bring real benefits, we know that shared schemes can present safety challenges in terms of poor parking and antisocial behaviour. That’s why we are empowering our local leaders to tackle these issues through licensing.
