<p>The Government provides funding for a range of projects which support cycle and
e-cycle repair. This includes the Department’s ‘Fix Your Bike’ voucher scheme in 2020/21
which enabled people to claim £50 off the cost of a cycle service. An evaluation of
this scheme is currently in progress. In 2022/23, the Department has also provided
£2 million to Cycling UK’s ongoing ‘Big Bike Revival’ project, which includes cycle
repairs and maintenance workshops, including for onward sale or donation of second-hand
cycles. The Department is currently developing standards around the construction and
use of e-scooters and has not yet completed any assessment of recycling projects for
e-scooters. The disposal and recycling of e-scooters currently falls under the responsibility
of the Office for Product Safety Standards, and like e-cycles, e-scooters are required
to meet the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations (2013).</p>
