Help Us Tackle Off-Road E-Bikes

Help Us Tackle Off-Road E-Bikes

We have seen a reduction in reports relating to off-road e-bikes being ridden dangerously in our area. While this may indicate a decrease in incidents, we are aware that some residents may no longer be reporting concerns because they feel that no action is being taken.

We completely understand these frustrations, however every report and piece of information helps us build intelligence and identify those responsible.

If you see anyone riding, storing, repairing, or regularly using off-road e-bikes, please let us know. Information that can assist includes:

Descriptions of riders or passengers

Names or nicknames

Locations where bikes are stored or regularly seen

Days and times incidents occur

Direction of travel

Where riders appear to have come from or are heading to

Registration numbers of associated vehicles transporting bikes

Photographs or CCTV footage where safe and lawful to obtain

Even if officers are unable to attend at the time of the incident, the information you provide can help us:

Identify hotspot locations

Review available CCTV opportunities

Link reports together

Build intelligence packages

Direct future patrols and enforcement activity

Please continue to report incidents via:

Online reporting

101 for non-emergency incidents

999 if the rider is causing an immediate danger to members of the public or there is an ongoing emergency

Your information really does make a difference. The more information we receive, the clearer picture we can build of where these bikes are being used and stored, helping us target those responsible and take positive action.

Please help us by continuing to report and share information. Together we can make our communities safer. 🚔
