How we are tackling e-bike crime in Wall End Ward, East Ham.

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 East Ham. 

Across London, including in East Ham, 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: 

Your local Police Officers from Wall End Safer Neighbourhood Team have been working closely with Police Officers from our neighbouring wards to help tackle this issue. Over the past few months, we have conducted several operations along High Street North, E6 where over 20 E-Bikes have been seized and the riders have been reported for No Insurance and Not in Accordance with a License.

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 behaviour concerns you raised about e-bikes / e-scooters.
