To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the incidence of use of electric bicycles and electric scooters which do not comply with the relevant regulations.

Enforcement of the rules and regulations in respect of both e-cycles and e-scooters is a matter for the police.

Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles (e-cycles) are legal to use on public roads so long as they comply with the requirements of the Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle Regulations 1983. Broadly, this means that maximum continuous power of the electric motor must not exceed 250 watts, that the e-cycle must be fitted with pedals capable of propelling it, and that the electrical assistance must cut-off at 15.5mph. The Department does not have data on the number of e-cycles in use that do not comply with these requirements.

Private e-scooters remain illegal to use on public roads, cycle lanes and pavements, and rental e-scooters can only be used in national rental e-scooter trial areas.
