E-bikes
Wandsworth Council is introducing a new e-bike fair use charter to address rider behaviour and parking issues.
Wandsworth Council is introducing a new e-bike fair use charter to address rider behaviour and parking issues, following discussions at its Transport Overview and Scrutiny Committee in September 2026. A report to the committee by the Head of Transport Strategy highlighted challenges from rider misconduct and improper parking, despite e-bikes' popularity with over 10 million trips expected in the borough this year. The charter proposes a more stringent approach.
Separately, Sutton Council awarded new contracts for e-bikes in June 2026, as part of discussions at its Environment and Sustainable Transport Committee. E-bikes are electric bicycles, a mode of sustainable transportation, which councils are working to manage in terms of provision, usage, and parking.
