Westminster City Council
• What is Westminster City Council’s policy on
electric two wheelers?
• Other than for electric motorcycle parking there is not
one. But this is my point – they are pretty much “off the
RADAR”

Westminster City
Council Cycling
Strategy 2014
This strategy covers
standard pedal cycles and
electrically assisted pedal
cycles.
It does not cover powered
two wheelers as these are
seen as a separate class
of vehicle.
![Page 4: Electric powered two wheelers - IAPSC](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012103/61dbcf1157cb23579701cfe9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Westminster City Council
• The Cycling Strategy does not have much to say
on electric bicycles.
• “Electric bikes may also be used to highlight that other
options are available for those who see their fitness as
a barrier to cycling”.
• “Or whose personal appearance is a concern when
undertaking business trips and are, therefore, looking
for a less strenuous option”.

So what is an electric “bike”?
• “Bike” is often used to describe any two wheeled single tracked transportation device; from human powered to 200+ brake horse power!
• An e-bike refers to an electric bicycle; PTW is a powered two wheeler; generally petrol; So an e-PTW is ....?
• For the purposes of this presentation I’m describing three categories:• e-bicycles up to 250 watts
• Super pedelecs (e-mopeds) up to 4 kW and 30 mph
• e-motorcycles up to and beyond 100 kWˆ

What is my interest?
• Worked in air quality since 1979
• I describe myself as a “bike” enthusiast.
• Both a “cyclist” and “motorcyclist”
• However I like a little bit of power to help me along; so I’m more motorcyclist.
• Because:• I’m slightly lazy
• I’m 59 years old and hills are getting steeper!
• I like the thrill of “powered two wheelers”.

Westminster City CouncilElectric vehicles generally
• When anyone mentions
“electric vehicles” you
think “cars and vans”. All
environmental
presentations are about
these.
• Who has ever driven /
ridden a:
• Electric or hybrid
car/van?
• Electric bicycle?
• Electric motorcycle?

£700,000 Department for
Transport fundSeptember 2015
• A new fleet of 234 electric
bikes will be available for
cyclists to hire at 10
locations across the
country.
• Paid for out of a £700,000
Department for Transport
fund, the "e-bikes" are
battery-assisted to make
pedalling easier.
• The government hopes they
will encourage bike use by
people who don't cycle
regularly or live in hilly
areas.

E-bikes - the problems
• The cost for what you get is high - £2000 to over
£5000 in some cases.
• The lack of any grant or even a VAT reduction =
no incentive
• Ride to work scheme is only £1000 and has
some catches.
• The 15.5 mph power cut-off from an EU Directive
– frustrating as the “sweet spot” is 20 mph; as
they have in the USA.
• So in the UK there is a relatively poor uptake.

ANY QUESTIONS?
• Should government/local
authorities/other agencies do more to
encourage e-PTW use and/or have
“policies”?
• e-PTW charging infrastructure?
• Financial incentives for all e-PTW?
