Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has taken steps to assess and act upon the recommendations in the June 2026 report from the APPG for Cycling and Walking, on illegal e-bikes, in particular around police and local authority enforcement.

Enforcement of road traffic law is an operational matter for the police, but the Government has strengthened the tools available to them through the Crime and Policing Act 2026, including new powers to seize vehicles, including illegal e-bikes used antisocially, without first issuing a warning. Local authority Trading Standards services are supported by the Office for Product Safety and Standards which works with them to remove unsafe products from the market.
