Transport for London (TfL) has enacted a ban on non-folding e-bikes, e-scooters, and e-unicycles across most of its transportation services, effective March 31. This decision arises from safety concerns after incidents involving fires caused by modified e-bikes. Although folding e-bikes are exempt due to their perceived safety, non-folding options can still be used on specific services like the Woolwich Ferry. The ban aims to remain in place until improved safety measures are introduced for modified cycles.
The ban includes all non-folding e-bikes, e-scooters, and e-unicycles, applying to various TfL services excluding some like the Woolwich Ferry.
TfL implemented the ban following increased fire incidents linked to e-bikes that had been modified, highlighting safety concerns for passengers.
Folding e-bikes are exempt as they are considered less likely to have modifications that pose fire risks compared to standard e-bikes.
This ban aims to stay in effect until better safety measures for converted cycles, batteries, and chargers are established by TfL.
