Keep illegal e-bikes off our streets
Sign Anna Turley MP’s campaign to stop dangerous conversion kits and illegal high-speed e-bikes being sold online.
Legal e-bikes are welcome. Dangerous, illegally converted bikes are not.
This is about safety,
not stopping legal e-bikes
Across Redcar & Cleveland, residents are raising concerns about illegally converted e-bikes being ridden at speed on pavements, around parks and through busy streets. Some conversion kits can turn an ordinary pedal bike into a powerful, unlicensed and uninsured vehicle capable of dangerous speeds.
Legal e-bikes, used safely and responsibly, are not the problem. Anna’s campaign is focused on the illegal kit and high-powered bikes that put pedestrians, children, older residents and other road users at risk.
What Anna is calling for
Three practical steps to keep our streets safe.
1.Stop dangerous sales at source
Tougher rules to prevent the sale of illegal e-bike conversion kits and high-powered e-bikes that do not meet road safety law.
2.Make online sellers accountable
Clear responsibilities for marketplaces and retailers selling these products.
3.Support safer streets
Back enforcement against dangerous riding while protecting responsible, legal e-bike users.
A legal electrically assisted pedal cycle has strict limits. If an e-bike has been altered to go beyond them, it may be treated in law as a motor vehicle.
