Kiwa SCM updates e-bike security certification with 50% recovery rate rule
Dutch certifier Kiwa SCM tightens e-bike security quality mark, requiring 50% recovery rates amid high theft numbers.
Mayor announces plan to replace current rules with a single framework for shared e-bikes.
On 29 September, the Mayor of London announced a new vision for micromobility in the capital, with improved regulation and safety of dockless e-bikes as a stated priority.
The proposed framework, which would be backed by upcoming legislation, is intended to replace the current patchwork of rules governing shared e-bike operators. Details of the new regime have not yet been published, but the move signals a shift toward a unified approach across the city.
For suppliers and distributors, the change implies that operators will face a single set of compliance requirements rather than multiple local agreements. This could affect fleet procurement cycles and the technical specifications of e-bikes supplied to London-based sharing schemes.
The timeline for the legislation and its specific provisions remain unclear.
A unified London framework could simplify compliance for shared-fleet buyers but may also introduce new safety or technical requirements. Dealers should hold off on long-term fleet contracts until the legislation's specifics are published.
