The Met Police Deploy New Testing Kits in Fresh Crackdown on E Bike Phone Snatchers The Metropolitan Police have launched a new operation to combat e bike crime in London, deploying portable testing kits designed to detect non compliant vehicles.
Dubbed "rolling roads," these devices can measure whether e bikes or e scooters can propel themselves faster than the 15. 5mph limit through electrically assisted pedals, batteries, or throttles.
The statistics from the Met's previous operation are impressive: a 14% decrease in neighborhood offenses in London over the past year, including a 23% reduction in thefts from person and an 11% drop in personal robberies.
