What happened
An investigation by Express found that Deliveroo couriers are using modified electric bikes in London that are as powerful as motorbikes. These bikes are reportedly used to fulfill customer orders for the delivery app. Experts noted that riders were observed using throttles to propel the bikes without pedaling, which makes them unregistered and uninsured e-motorcycles.

Why it matters
The Bicycle Association has demanded that delivery giants face prosecution if they allow the use of these dangerous vehicles. Experts urged the Government to hold delivery app operators accountable for ensuring deliveries are made by legitimate vehicles. This situation raises concerns about regulatory oversight of delivery operations.
