How this resolves

The publication market resolves YES only on a formal TfL publication — a consultation, policy paper or draft scheme naming e-bike licensing terms — posted on tfl.gov.uk or the TfL press room before 10 August 2026; statements to media that proposals are "coming" or "in development" do not count. tfl.gov.uk publications and consultations pages, cross-checked against TfL board and committee papers.

The pattern behind it

0 of 3
None of the three previous London micromobility schemes moved from legal power to a live framework in under 11 months — and none published detailed proposals within three months of gaining the power. Paris's five-month e-scooter ban is the speed outlier, and it was a ban, not a licence.

None of three earlier London schemes had rules within 11 months. London has been here before. A new power or a new kind of shared bike or scooter arrives, and then design, consultation and talks with the boroughs take many months. We looked at how long each earlier London scheme took to go from a legal power to working rules. Paris is shown for comparison. It moved faster, but it banned e-scooters instead of licensing them.
