More e-scooters seized as part of crackdown

Cambridgeshire Police said it would continue educating children and parents about the law around e-bikes and e-scooters

Three more e-scooters have been seized by police as part of a crackdown across a county.

Last month Cambridgeshire Police seized 94 illegal e-bikes and e-scooters after receiving "frequent reports of reckless riding".

A further three were found this week - one at Cambridge North railway station and two in Cambourne.

In the UK, e-scooters are not permitted on public roads except through approved official trials, such as Voi in Cambridge – although they are widely sold in shops and online.

People over the age of 14 can ride e-bikes on public roads as long as the bikes meet the legal criteria.

Cambridgeshire Police said its ongoing operation followed an increasing number of privately owned e-scooters and non-compliant electric bikes being used in public spaces.
