    E-scooters and ebikes are potentially an environmentally friendly way to travel, but they have been used in thousands of crimes.

    Wait until you hear about shoes! They’ve been used in millions of crimes! /s

      Cars have ebikes handily beat. Same for motorcycles.

      UK ebikes seem like kind of a sub-par transport for a criminal who needs to get away quickly now that I think about it… Aren’t they limited to like 250 watts too?
