In a crackdown on reckless and anti-social behaviour, police can now confiscate and crush the e-bikes and e-scooters without previously issuing a warning #LBC #uk #news #crime #police #Shorts
Dangerous drivers will now have their ebikes and e- scooters crushed within 48 hours of seizure. In a crackdown on reckless and antisocial behavior, police can now confiscate the vehicles without previously issuing a warning. The government say this will bring swift justice to communities blighted by street racing and will have a wider impact on serious crime as these bikes are often used by drug dealers and thieves. leaves.

Ebikes that go 30-60mph+ and no real safety features yes agree 100% dangerous and get rid… my scooter that I got from Halfords for £249, is limited to 14mph, lights, disk brakes and several safety features I dont understand the problem with, no more dangerous than a peddle bike in my opinion as long as you use it considerably and follow the same rules you would as a cyclist.
Can’t stop the boats though.
What about cylists running red lights?
Remember Tesla had stock splits. So really the stock price would be the equivilent $2,700
I'll believe it when I see it.
The stolen e bikes? What a waste
Terribly wasteful! Should be donated to charities who can refurbish and redistribute/sell them
Motorbikes are the bigger problem near me tbh. They're louder and faster
Don’t lithium batteries explode when they’re crushed 😂😂
They’ve only themselves to blame.
Bike thefts will go up. They sure ain't gonna buy a new bike…
Creating more problems, not solving them.
Yet again a law for the few that effects the many, welcome to the UK. Thankyou Tony Blair you mug! 👍
Most will be resold at police auctions
Is this suggesting that pedestrians, motorcycles, cars and trucks are not dangerous drivers that are often used by drug dealers and thieves?
😂😂😂 no they can't
The government only brings swift justice against Facebook users
Why not sell them and get money to put back into hiring people to actually walk the streets rather than hassass people for online comments.
If they’ve already been confiscated, what does destroying them within 48hrs achieve??
About time, what took them so long? Why don’t these riders wear crash helmets?
The rich bring in the drugs
Most are stolen
These narrow minded politicians will keep the country broke. Instead of spending our tax money crushing the confiscated 'e' bikes, they should be sold by the container load in countries where they're legal and the profits reinvested in worthy UK causes.
have they voted this new piece of legislation through parliament then?
There never there bikes in the first place they’ll just steal another one
With regulations around electric motors and batteries i guarantee they won't be crushed
I didn't know that vehicles were becoming criminals. I don't mean the drivers, but the bikes and scooters.
So police can just take your stuff
Brilliant
This isn’t fair, some people (like me) just use it to go to school, work etc, we should give e bike permits to certain people instead of destroying property which costs thousands, nice “democratic” country
Governments: "we need to go green to save the environment!"
Also governments: "let’s make electric bikes and scooters that don’t cause harm to the environment illegal!"
It’s all about money. If you Can’t tax or pay anything towards it, they make it illegal.
