Just ban them and make it illegal to sell them. I don’t know any normal person that owns or rides one. The only people that seem drawn to them are kids, criminals, drug dealers and wankers.

The e-bikes are a great idea but dumping them anywhere is not. Anybody figured out how they get charged if left randomly about and how a rider can tell if there is enough electricity inside the bicycle? And punctures?
They're dumped everywhere- massive issue on pavements for those with mobility or sight issues. The hire companies don't give a toss and are not held accountable.
Simply ignoring the problems with ebikes and scooters is not the answer. The only answer I hear is 'they're less bad than cars' implying that we should simply ignore any issues.
Lazy government and no joined up transport policy.

Nonsense being peddled out it’s the people’s actions riding the bikes not the bikes.
This in my opinion is one of the biggest opportunities being missed to help climate control.
More than the bullshit trying to stop cows farting.
The amount of people commuting with 4 empty seats in there car.
If they got on a bike it would un clog the roads they would also benefit financially save time on their commute and become healthier.
Why is it you don’t seem to see kids riding to school anymore.
If we could get kids to ride to school how much would the roads unclog morning and afternoon on the school run.
I can understand why the government don’t won’t to promote bikes because of all the money they would lose on Taxes.
But I can’t understand the general hate for bikes when they can do so much more for the environment than electric cars.
Even the car manufacturers don’t want to make the electric cars As seen with Vauxhall in Luton.
I have no hatred for bikes that you pedal under your own power, I have been a cyclist all my life and still am at 67, and in the ideal world I would love to see people taking short journeys on electric bikes.
However due to their speed, compact size and not having a number plate displayed they are very attractive to bag snatchers, drug dealers and twats that want to race around on the pavement.
As I say I am 67, have a large circle of family, friends and business associates and not one person in that circle owns an electric bike
Looks to me that it’s London that seems to attract these sorts of people nowadays don’t matter what type of vehicle they go about on.
I see 3 people got shot again over the weekend. Not a safe place nowadays I’m afraid to say.
That just isn't true though is it. Just one of those lines that gets thrown around, despite the fact that millions go about their daily life in London without issue, and almost exclusively said by people that don't live in London.

Surely the point about e-scooters is there is no pedalling 😉😉😆

City of London enforcement officers were outside our office the other week taking photos and writing reports RE electric bikes being dumped all over the pavement. They are apparently starting to fine the companies that own them.

Exactly
Yeah but they say it on GB News and in the Daily Mail so it must be true.

There are vey few cows in London and I have it on reliable evidence from experts that London-based cows don't fart or use guns.
I agree about the government not wanting to promote bikes and lose taxes. That's Labour all over though isn't it, big gas guzzling oligarchs.
So why are you all moaning about increases in crime having to pay emissions charges.Tolls for tunnels. obviously you just like to moan don’t know what Sadiq khan is on about air pollution in London. Drug crime. Knife crime. He just needs to ban bikes and scooters. Ozone layer fixed no more murders job done. Why haven’t they done already. 👍

Sadiq Khan appears to get more criticism and hatred than Andy Burnham. Sometimes I wonder why, what is the significant difference between those two Mayors?

Even by your standards this is poor form implying it is because he is brown and/ or Muslim.
It's a London forum so he'll get more criticism than the mayor of Manchester as his policy will directly affect those who live and work in London.
Really poor to imply that criticism is based on racial lines. It will be for some but given he gets voted in it's obviously not the case for the vast majority.
You demonstrate a lot of class based prejudice towards the likes of Johnson and Methven etc whereas most critics base it on their characters and actions so very rich for you to snootily cast aspersions on other people's assumed prejudice.
Don't normally dive in on your posts Seth but sorry mate think that's out of order.
‘Sometimes I wonder’, As in sometimes. I am reassured that criticism of Khan has absolutely nothing to do with his ethnicity or colour according to many voices here. I notice that Burnham was on Kunessberg on Sunday and recently on Question time. Indeed other mayors have also been on such programmes. Anybody know if Sadiq Khan has ever been invited on those programmes?

He regularly attends James OBriens show on LBC but refuses to join Nick Ferrari's according to Ferrari.
I'd be very surprised if the BBC of all organisations were discriminating against him on racial or religious lines.

Here's a starter based on a very quick search - he would probably have been on a lot more, but we know how the BBC discriminates against non-whites, the capitalist bastards.

You have become a sad parody of your own sad self. It must be difficult being you.

It is equally difficult for you to resist constant personal digs. A sad parody of a bully.

Racism unfortunately still exists and has to be challenged whenever it appears. What is not helpful though is people trying to shoehorn Racism into a conversation where it does not exist. There's plenty of reason why a lot of people do not like the current Mayor of London and it's almost entirely due to his politics.

'It seems to be getting a bit out of control': E-bike and e-scooter crimes soar 730% in five years

Blimey, what are the chances of that?
