The decision to ban most e-bikes on public transport in London, announced on Wednesday, has been described as a "huge setback for active and sustainable transport in London".

In a statement, Transport for London (TfL) declared that all non-folded e-bikes will not be permitted to travel on most TfL services, including on the Tube, Overground, Elizabeth line and DLR.
