Surrey Police targets antisocial e-bike and e-scooter use with Operation Scramble.

Surrey Police targets antisocial e-bike and e-scooter use with Operation Scramble.

Residents have told us that antisocial and dangerous riding of e-bikes and e-scooters is a
growing concern in our communities, and we want to reassure you that we are listening
and taking action.
 

Reports of nuisance riding, speeding, reckless behaviour and the criminal use of electrically
assisted pedal cycles and scooters have increased significantly in recent years, often causing
alarm to residents and creating real risks for other road users and pedestrians.
 

To tackle the issue, Surrey Police is this week launching Operation Scramble, focused on
disrupting the illegal and antisocial use of e-bikes and e-scooters.
 

Our officers will be carrying out dedicated enforcement activity in local communities, using a
range of tactics. We will also be working to educate riders about the law and the dangers
associated with non-compliant and illegally modified vehicles.
 

This activity is part of our wider commitment to addressing the issues that matter most to you,
and to people in your area, and we will be regularly sharing updates on results, arrests, vehicle
seizures and other positive outcomes.
 

If you hear of concerns about nuisance riding in your area, please encourage residents to report
it directly using this form. The information gathered will help us identify hotspots, deploy
resources effectively and take action where it is needed most.

scooters, please refer to our website.
