TfL says no to Non-Foldables — Here’s why Hygge Bikes Wins

As of 31st March 2025, Transport for London (TfL) has implemented new regulations banning non-folding e-bikes on most TfL services, including the Tube, Overground, Elizabeth Line, and DLR. This decision follows growing safety concerns around battery-related incidents, particularly those involving converted e-bikes.

While this change poses challenges for many urban commuters, it also highlights a practical and forward-thinking solution, which is foldable e-bikes.

Why Are Non-Folding E-Bikes Banned?

TfL's decision comes amid a series of fires caused by faulty lithium-ion batteries, particularly in bikes retrofitted with unregulated or low-quality conversion kits. To prioritize public safety, TfL has prohibited the transport of non-foldable e-bikes on most of its services.

That means unless your e-bike folds compactly, you can no longer bring it onto London’s most-used transport routes.
