Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions officials have had with online marketplaces regarding the sale of illegal e-bike conversion kits and non-compliant e-scooters.

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency's Market Surveillance Unit (MSU) actively monitors the market, investigates mis-selling, and can take appropriate action in line with its statutory remit. The MSU has established a process for notifying online marketplaces of non-compliant e-bikes where listings do not make clear that they cannot legally be used on the road.
