Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of speed limits for e-bikes in areas also used by pedestrians.

The Department has made no such assessment. Cyclists, like other road users, must obey the rules of the road as set out in the Highway Code. In the case of e-cycles, the electrical assistance must cut out when the vehicle reaches 15.5mph. There are no plans to introduce speed limits for e-cycles, either on roads or on shared-use cycle and pedestrian tracks.
