Transport for London (TfL) has announced a sweeping ban on all non-foldable e-bikes across the majority of its services, effective from 31 March 2025, following safety concerns sparked by recent battery fires.
The move comes after a comprehensive safety review conducted in partnership with the London Fire Brigade, prompted by incidents of e-bike batteries catching fire on the transport system, including a notable blaze at Rayners Lane station in February.
TfL says the ban will remain in place until improved product safety standards are introduced for e-bike batteries, conversion kits, and chargers.
