Aren't these illegal?
they are not e-bikes, they are electric motorbikes, I wish they would learn the difference, if they cannot tell the difference how can you expect anyone else to.
That is how it should be done
i think you'll find these are NOT e-bikes, e-bikes are limited to 250W continuous output, must have working pedals and are speed limited to 15.5 MPH – what the police are using in this video are in a separate category called e-motos – a motor vehicle that requires registration, MOT, 3rd party insurance and a full motorcycle license to use on the road. I do wish the media would stop lying and defaming e-bike users by associating them with criminality, because scapegoating makes the public stupider and more likely to use violence against law abiding e-bike users. Do better.
If u can't beat them, join them! The Met Police should probably carry machetes too!
The hands the hands. Look Yogi its them again!!
''Dieversity is our stench''
Good on ya! Now a cafe reacer styled cop e-bike and none will get away!
Wonderful!! We need more of that up north
Nice
These Guys just created an QRF unit
Fannys
About bloody time.
Talk about being a hypocrite
About time they switched to motorbikes… Cars can't get anywhere in today's London.
One officer to 4 offenders in the first clip, 4 officers to one in the second. Somethings gone wrong there…
Took a long time to do but I hope its a success
Shouldn’t they be arresting people for unkind Tweets?
👏 Well done to the cops.
They don't half have to deal with some 💩, so using the right tools for the job will massively help. 🙌
its dreadful the police have to run after these people. Just fire at them, and make sure they never get up. Saves the cost of a trial.
I thought e bikes were illegal
2:22 ah the friendly "why'd you do it mate" conversation afterwards
Toomuch effort, just p*p 'em in the legs if they ignore the stop warning. It immediately stops the problem and the nonsense. Because of the fact that regular bobbies don't carry. That's why they don't respect the police.
Are E bikes banned, or aren't they??
Why are there phone snatchers in London? Feels like alleviating symptoms not curing the disease.
So staged!
Non of the actors were injured in these scenes.
Pretty clever to let the first one shave the peak of his running stamina before pursuing on foot
There is only 1 question left to ask:
— are they deported???????
Or after serving few months in prison they continue commiting crimes
No female coppers though on ecycles, wonder why?
Ban the police from using e bikes ,just like there doing to the public ,see how they like it 😊
Yeah like four of these guys with drones and wider units with dogs is the answer. Great stuff
