Local authority seizes more than 100 e-bikes causing obstruction More than 100 rental e-bikes obstructing pavements or roads have been seized by a local authority.
The corporation said it has agreements in place with rental e-bike operators on parking, but launched its own crackdown in response to a number of complaints about e-bikes being left in unsuitable places.
Shravan Joshi, who chairs the corporation’s planning and transportation committee, said the “challenges posed by bikes cluttering our pavements” are “undeniable”.
He added that the authority will “keep up the pressure” to ensure operators’ efforts to ensure e-bikes are correctly parked are “quantified and meaningful”.
City of London Corporation said the e-bikes were stored in “a safe location” during the two-week operation.
