E-bikes: A Menace on Wheels?

Michelle Dewberry, @MichelleDewbs, blasts e-bikes as dangerous in the UK delivery scene. Riders on illegal e-bikes, often sourced from the black market, are upending safety norms, zooming past legal speed limits. These bikers, engaged by platforms like Deliveroo and Uber Eats, follow unauthorized shifts, endangering themselves and others. With speeds hitting 40mph, the legal cap of 15.5mph seems laughable. Calls grow for platforms to clamp down on this chaos, pushing them to take liability for rider conduct. Echoing concerns, Kelvin MacKenzie worries lives are risked as this e-bike frenzy spins out of control.
