Ecclesfield & Shiregreen NPT
Last night officers spotted (despite the fact it was dark and the rider didn’t have any lights) an E – Bike riding quicker than it should be so signalled for it to a stop.
The rider fancied his chances of getting away so went off down an alley way.
Unfortunately for him, the officers local knowledge meant the could cut him off at the other end and detained him.
Examination of the bike showed it was able to travel at nearly 55MPH some 40MPH over the legal limit.
These bikes are illegal and dangerous and should not be ridden on the road or public spaces.
The bike was seized and the rider faces large fines and penalty points for riding it without a licence or insurance.
