#Transport for #London (#TfL) has announced a ban on non-folded e-bikes across its transport network, effective 31 March 2025, following safety concerns. While most #ebikes are safe, there have been incidents where non-folding e-bikes caught fire on the network. The ban will apply to the #Tube, #Overground, Elizabeth Line, and #DLR, but foldable e-bikes will still be allowed. TfL’s review, in collaboration with the London Fire Brigade, found that conversion kits for standard cycles pose a higher fire risk. Non-folding e-bikes are already banned on buses and trams. Exceptions include the Woolwich Ferry, river services, and certain coach services. TfL is working with the government to improve e-bike safety. Customers not complying with the ban may face fines up to £1000. TfL is the first #UK operator to enforce such a ban.

The image is a vertical poster from Transport for London. At the top, there's a blue banner with the text "Transport for London" on a white background, accompanied by a small triangular warning symbol containing an exclamation mark. Below, a prominent red circle with a diagonal slash overlays black icons of an e-scooter, a bicycle, and an e-unicycle, indicating that these devices are not allowed. Beneath the symbol, bold blue text states, "No e-scooters, e-unicycles or non-foldable e-bikes allowed on TfL services.*" Additional text specifies, "Failure to comply may result in prosecution." The footer contains a disclaimer noting exceptions for e-bikes on certain services, and logos for the Mayor of London and Transport for London. Image by TfL
