The presence of masked individuals riding electric bikes and scooters is increasingly alarming in various locations, including urban areas and rural settings. Incidents of dangerous behavior, such as riding on footpaths and causing accidents, have raised public safety concerns, prompting discussions on how to address the issue effectively.
Authorities are exploring various strategies to combat illegal e-bike usage, including enhanced police powers for vehicle seizure and the use of drones for monitoring.
