Reporting mechanisms regarding the use of Off Road Bikes within your area.

๐Ÿšจ South Staffordshire Police are aware of the concerns surrounding the use of e-bikes, e-scooters, and off-road bikes in our local communities. To effectively address this issue, we rely on information from residents to help us target problem areas.

๐Ÿ“ If you witness these vehicles being ridden or stored illegally, please report:

  • Time and date of the activity
  • Specific locations where it's happening
  • Details of any recurring incidents
  • ๐Ÿ“ž You can report this via:

  • 101 for non-emergencies
  • 999 in urgent situations
  • Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111 for anonymous tips
  • โš ๏ธ Remember:

  • Privately owned e-scooters are illegal to use on public roads, pavements, and cycle lanes.
  • Off-road bikes used in public spaces without permission are subject to seizure under Section 165 of the Road Traffic Act.
  • ๐Ÿš“ Staffordshire Police have been actively tackling this issue through targeted operations. In July 2025, officers stopped a motorcyclist in Penkridge and discovered a Stanley knife and cannabis. The rider was charged with multiple offences including possession of a bladed article, drug offences, and riding without a helmet. You can read the full update on Staffordshire Policeโ€™s July enforcement report.

    South Staffs officers are committed to keeping our roads and public spaces safe. Your reports help us take action where it's needed most.
