Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many accidents involving e-bikes and pedestrians have been recorded in the last five years; and what steps the Government is taking to ensure the safety of pedestrians in areas shared with e-bikes.
The Department’s road casualty statistics are based on data collected from police forces via the STATS19 system.
STATS19 does not identify e-bikes as a separate category, and therefore the Department does not hold the information requested.
