The Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) recently urged the public and retailers to avoid e-bike and e-scooter batteries that don't meet UK and EU safety requirements.

Trading Standards is a completely toothless organisation. They should be protecting the public by removing products, that don't meet UK safety standards, from sale not just telling people not to buy them. This is what you get from deregulation.

Where are the Met police in this?

Most of the courier eBikes being used are completely illegal.
 

If the Met did its job and seized the illegally modified eBikes the Fire Brigade wouldn't have to deal with so many fires.

Yet another example of well funded public services completely failing to work together using the remits that already exist.
