This was the moment a group of young lads tried to hack a Big Issue eBike and failed, but left it damaged and abandoned for a day in a street in South Bristol.
The video footage, filmed by a passer-by in broad daylight, emerged after Big Issue and the Norwegian firm that runs the eBike hire scheme announced they were stopping it because of the ‘relentless vandalism’ the bikes are suffering in Bristol.
The firm said that more bikes were being attacked, damaged or stolen in Bristol than in all the other places around the world put together.
