underage riders
Lewisham Council is discussing concerns about underage e-bike riders with operator Lime.
E-bike operator Lime addressed concerns about underage riders, parking compliance, and speed limits at Lewisham's Public Transport Liaison Forum on 20 October 2026. Councillor Corinne Ashwell expressed concern during the discussion. The forum heard about a 30% rise in e-bike usage in Lewisham in September 2026 compared to the previous year.
To address parking compliance, Lime is collaborating with Lewisham Council to establish new designated parking bays. These bays are financed by Lime's Infrastructure Fund and are being identified by analysing high-demand locations, particularly near train stations. No further discussions or decisions are currently scheduled.
