Man arrested after electric off-road bike seized in Drumchapel

A 36-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with a number of road traffic offences and the possession of an offensive weapon following the seizure of an electric off-road bike in Drumchapel.

The man was stopped in the Blairdardie area of Glasgow on Thursday, 18 September, 2025, following reports of anti-social use of the bike from the local community.

He will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal.

“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.

“Anyone with information or concerns about the anti-social use of electric off-road bikes is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be passed anonymously.”
