Kensington starts seizing e-bikes to curb parking chaos

Available for over a year

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) is trying to deal with the huge amount of dockless hire e-bikes that end up on its streets. Councillors say badly parked e-bikes are among the main complaints they get from local residents. The council now charges the operators a retrieval fee of £84.45 per unit to get their e-bikes back. It has brought in about £100,000 so far.
