Written Question
Electric Bicycles: Greater London
Monday 15th June 2026

Asked by: Joe Powell (Labour - Kensington and Bayswater)

Question to the Department for Transport:

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 - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

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.
