Sutton Council has teamed up with the Met Police to tackle e-bike misuse.

Authority officers are now trained to spot illegal e-bike modifications and say they’ve already seized five bikes.

If your bike doesn’t meet Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle rules, it’s classed as a moped or motorcycle.

A lack of insurance could get you a £300 fine, six points on your license, and your bike seized.
