In a determined effort to tackle the proliferation of illegal e-bikes on the streets, the City of London Police executed two targeted operations last week, resulting in the seizure of 26 unauthorized electric bicycles.
The operations, conducted around the Bishopsgate and Aldgate areas, saw the force’s cycle team working in tandem with the Road Policing Unit and Neighbourhood Policing officers. Over two separate four-hour shifts on Wednesday 1 May and Thursday 2 May, the team issued 10 fixed penalty notices as part of their intensive crackdown.
