@officialwmp: We’ve seized more illegal e-bikes from riders in Birmingham city centre, as we continue to work to make the streets safer for everyone. Our city centre officers have been stopping riders, issuing them with tickets, and sending the bikes to be crushed. Our clampdown on the dangerous vehicles started in June, in response to concerns raised by businesses and visitors to the city centre, and has seen more than 20 seized so far, including several seized last Monday alone. People are telling us there’s been a real reduction in the number of illegal bikes operating in the city centre. The message is getting through – we won’t tolerate bikes that put the riders themselves and pedestrians at risk. We’re going to keep up the pressure with more operations in the coming weeks, and they’ll be happening in other parts of Birmingham and the West Midlands as well. Search 'e-bikes law' to find out more about the difference between legal and illegal e-bikes. #ebikes #brum #birmingham #police
