Police in Cambridgeshire are cracking down on the illegal use of e-bikes and e-scooters on Cambridge roads. At the start of the week, officers were in and around Cambridge stopping e-scooter and e-bike users.

This is part of the force’s crackdown to tackle the increase of privately owned e-scooters and non-compliant electric bikes being used on public roads, pavements and cycle paths. As part of the three-day operation, which was led by neighbourhood officers, 94 illegal e-bikes and e-scooters were seized.

One of the e-bikes seized by officers could reach up to 50km per hour, which is more than three times the legal limit for assisted e-bikes. PC Jake Weldon, of Cambridgeshire Police, said the vehicles have become a “real big problem” across the city centre.
