Increase in seizures of illegal ebikes

The cat's out of the bag now though. And as long as you can completely legally buy these things "for use on private land only" (yeh right) matters will only continue to get worse.

I realise it's a question of priorities, and are illegal ebikes a higher priority than (insert your hobby-horse problem here)?

Even the use on private land only is a misdirection.

It must be private land, ie, land to which the public do not have access by payment or otherwise, and with the land owners permission.

It's not the fact that land may be privately owned that makes it legal.

You can legally buy electric scooters. Where you can use it is another thing entirely.
They did the same with drones. The selling and buying is completely legal.

Confiscate all illegal ebikes. Release them only when fines and back-tax (vehicle excise, etc) is paid. Have a time limit of 2 months, then CRUSH.
Do the same with cars, eg driven untaxed, without MOT, etc.
Do the same with anyone who can't tell the difference between "are" instead of "our".
