Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 19 May 2025 to Question 51561 on Electric Bicycles, how many people riding a e-cycle classed as a motor vehicle have been (a) arrested and (b) prosecuted for not having (i) legal approval, (ii) registration, (iii) compulsory insurance, (iv) an annual roadworthiness test pass, (v) an appropriate driving licence and (vi) not meeting mandatory helmet requirements.

The Home Office routinely collects and publishes data on arrests for notifiable offences, as part of the ‘Police Powers and Procedures’ statistical series. However, data is collected at offence group level only, therefore data for specific offences is not collected.

Additionally, the Home Office routinely collects and published data on motoring offences that resulted in court action in England and Wales on an annual basis, as part of the ‘Police powers and procedures: Roads policing’ statistical bulletin. The most recent data, up to 2023, is available here: Police powers and procedures: Roads policing, to December 2023 - GOV.UK
