Episode Details

Leicestershire Police’s Operation Pedalfast has seized over 800 illegal e-scooters and e-bikes in just 18 months — sparked by a single resident’s email — as the crackdown expands across the county. These unregistered, often modified vehicles, exceeding 15.5 mph, pose serious safety risks and avoid legal requirements like insurance and registration. With over $110 million paid out in UK injury claims, authorities and Leicester City Council are pushing back, emphasizing that only official trial vehicles are legal on public roads — and that removing these dangerous machines is making city centers safer for all.
