Chevoppe-Verdier said: “Rental e-bikes give people a genuinely convenient way to get around the borough and will continue to play a key role in taking climate action and boosting active travel in Hammersmith and Fulham.
“But residents have also told us loud and clear that bikes abandoned on pavements are causing real problems – especially for older residents, disabled people and families with pushchairs.”
LBHF officers recently said they believed boroughs that have exclusive deals with a single provider have experienced difficulties with riders bringing other makes of e-bike into the area.
“If an operator is to launch its service in LBHF, it is better that it takes place within a clear and efficient regulatory framework set by the council,” a recent council paper read.
The paper also said existing deals with the borough’s current operators would benefit from “further clarity of the standards of service”, as well as a review of the fees paid.
