Please review the following update regarding Anti Social Behaviour which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.
Over the last few months, we have been talking to Londoners at our community crime fighting events, to better understand exactly what issues you care about most, including here in the Hammersmith Broadway and Fulham wards.
Across London, including in Hammersmith Broadway and Fulham, we heard of widespread concerns about dangerous riding, anti-social behaviour and thefts linked to e-bikes and e-scooters. So, we are stepping up our action.
In the past year, we have taken over 2,500 illegal and unsafe e-bikes and e-vehicles off London’s streets. Through precision-led policing driven by intelligence, data and technology, we are seizing thousands of dangerous rides where they’re being used unlawfully or anti-socially.
We are working with partners to develop evidence-based, targeted interventions and operations that will lead to effective, long-term change. Acting on concerns that matter most to Londoners is at the heart of our community crime-fighting – and so we need your input.

We would appreciate hearing from you to help us better understand both the concerns and benefits of e-bikes and e-scooters use in your area. This will help us understand what you would like us to prioritise and give us insight to take to partners and drive action.
MPS actions so far:
In the meantime, we want to take this opportunity to tell you what we are already doing to clamp down on the illegal and anti-social behavior concerns you raised about e-bikes / e-scooters.
• Across 2025 we seized more than 2,500 illegal e-bikes and e-scooters across London and will continue to take steps to keep you safe.
• We are stopping riders suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Drunk riding is illegal, unsafe, and contributes to a growing proportion of near-misses and collisions, particularly on increasingly used high-powered e- bikes.
This has included operations in the Fulham wards where your local SNT achieved the following in 2025:
• 17th January 2025 – 5 e-bikes seized including one capable of speeds in excess of 80mph. The Met Cycle Safety Team also attended to assist officers with detections.
• 7th July 2025 – 4 e-bikes were stopped. 3 were in compliance with legislation. 1 was seized due to an illegal battery and a TOR was given for no insurance/driving not in accordance with a licence
We look forward to completing more e-bike operations this year and will keep you informed of good news and results.
Kind regards,
PS Johnny Farrugia
