Electric bikes (e-bikes) are a fantastic public good, offering eco-friendly transportation and reducing urban congestion. However, their rapid rise has brought challenges. E-bikes often clutter our pavements and pose safety risks. To maximize their benefits, we urgently need better regulations and infrastructure. This includes designated parking areas, stricter enforcement of traffic rules, and public awareness campaigns. By addressing these issues, we can ensure e-bikes remain a positive force in our cities, enhancing mobility while minimizing their negative externalities. Please support our drive to better e-bike hygiene reporting issues on the link below. Let’s work together to tame e-bikes for a safer, cleaner urban environment. #SustainableTransport #UrbanMobility

📢 The Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom (DfT) is accepting expressions of interest from local authorities for brand new e-scooter trials 📢 It's open to local authorities that do not already have an e-scooter trial in their area, and is an exciting opportunity to join the 22 trials already underway across England! We've been running three e-scooter trials across the Solent area since 2020. These trials have captured invaluable data on e-scooter usage, mode shift, safety, equity and diversity and user perceptions. For example, within just over 1 year of launching, 283,000 car and taxi trips had been replaced by rental e-scooters. These data are shared regularly with the DfT to help inform future policy. Councils have until 15 November 2024 to submit an application for a new trial area. #SolentFTZ #escooters #EOI #expressionofinterest #sustainabletransport #sustainability
