Alda Simoes emphasized the urgent need to ban e-bikes from trains, highlighting the potential danger they pose to public safety, especially after the tragic death of Sofia Duarte.
Ms Simoes warned that most people are unaware of the dangers posed by e-bike batteries, which can have an energy output comparable to 'six hand grenades'.
Recalling the incident at Sutton station, where an e-bike ignited in mere seconds, Simoes urged for immediate action to prevent future tragedies on public transport.
Sofia Duarte's death, a potential first in London caused by an e-bike, prompted a call for a thorough review of safety regulations concerning e-bikes on public transport.
