Transport for London (TfL) has banned non-folding e-bikes, including converted ones, from the Tube, Overground, Elizabeth line, and DLR. The decision follows safety concerns, with TfL citing an increased fire risk from converted e-bikes. An e-bike fire previously disrupted services at Rayners Lane. The ban will remain until improved safety measures are in place. Existing rules barring non-folding bikes on buses and trams remain unchanged. However, non-foldable e-bikes are still allowed on the Woolwich Ferry, Silvertown Cycle Shuttle, and select river and coach services. TfL says it will review the ban based on government safety regulations. (BBC)
