Lime bikes last hit the headlines when American actor Timothee Chalamet was fined £65 after arriving at the London premiere of his new film on one.
Parking the bike directly in front of waiting paparazzi outside the BFI Southbank, it's been revealed the 29-year-old actor has since been slapped with a hefty fine for parking the cycle incorrectly.
"There was a traffic jam," Chalamet said in French when asked why he chose to use the e-bike to arrive at the premiere.
Chalamet has since revealed he parked the e-bike in an area he wasn't "actually wasn’t allowed to park."
E-bikes in the UK have their speed capped at 15.5mph, with their motors designed to cut out when exceeding that.
But Police have warned that the presence of illegally modified e-bikes soared over the last year amid fears for pedestrian safety.
UK police forces seized 937 e-bikes in the year up to August 11, a Freedom of Information request revealed, including one capable of reaching 70mph.
It marks an increase of over 400 when compared to the previous 12 months.
According to the PA News Agency, police are increasingly finding bikes capable of much faster speeds.Police often find e-bikes that have been essentially converted into mopeds or motorbikes with modifications that allow them to be powered with the pedals being turned.
