Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the banning of (1) e-bikes, and (2) e-scooters, from some train services; what assessment they have made of the impact of such bans on the use of public transport; and what steps they intend to take to ensure that such products using lithium ion batteries sold in the UK are safe.
The carriage of e-bikes, and e-scooters on the National Rail Network is a matter for individual train companies. The Office of Product Safety and Standards at BEIS is responsible for ensuring that imported goods meet safety requirements
