Such a requirement would be likely to lead to a significant reduction in the number of people cycling, and the costs would be likely to outweigh the benefits that cycling brings, both for cyclists themselves and for wider society.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 15/11/2022 14:47:31 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	uin	83537
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2022 answer text <p>The Department does not hold an estimate for the number of e-bikes that have been modified to travel at higher speeds. Modifications of this sort are only permitted if the vehicle meets the relevant type approval requirements and is registered, taxed and insured. The rider must also hold an appropriate driving licence and wear an approved motorcycle helmet. Enforcement of these requirements on the road is a matter for the police, while the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency is responsible for ensuring that illegally modified e-bikes are not offered for sale for use on the public highway. Various penalties apply for these different offences: for example, riding without insurance could result in a fixed penalty of £300 and 6 penalty points. There have also been a number of successful prosecutions for the sale of illegally modified e-bikes, resulting in criminal convictions, substantial fines, and recalling the e-bikes.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 15/11/2022 16:42:39 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
