Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of requiring dockless e-bikes to park in dedicated bays.

As you will appreciate, the new Government is still in its early stages, and I am carefully considering next steps for dockless e-bikes.

Many lessons have been learned from the e-scooter trials so far, in addition to learning from the many shared mobility schemes in the UK and international schemes like those in Paris. The Government recognises that dockless shared mobility, if managed incorrectly can lead to cycles, e-cycles, and e-scooters littered across roads and pavements, having disproportionate impacts on our most vulnerable road users.
