E-bikes seized and man arrested in Inverurie

A 23-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with road traffic offences after e-bikes were seized in Inverurie.

Between the evening of Tuesday, 2 and the morning of Monday, 8 September, 2025, we received reports of e-bikes being used in the Corsmanhill and North Street areas.

Following proactive enquiries, three electrically adapted bikes were seized and the man is due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court at a later date.

Constable Mo Morrison, of the North East Road Policing Unit, said: “The use of electric bikes, whether made or modified, is illegal on our roads and pavements. They can cause a risk to pedestrians and other road users.

“Our job is to reduce that risk and enforce Road Traffic Legislation. Anyone using these bikes in a public place, should be aware: you will be stopped, you will be charged and the bikes will be seized.”
