UK Government announce consultation on all new motorcycles to be electric by 2035

Electric motorbikes and mopeds are becoming more normal on UK roads. On Auto Trader Bikes we have seen both record numbers of electric motorbike adverts on our site and interest in them grew by over 120% in the last year*.
As part of the government's measures to mark a year since the Transport Decarbonisation Plan was introduced, they have launched a new public consultation into ending the sales of non-zero-emission L-category vehicles. Their hope is, that this will accelerate the transition to zero-emission travel, by speeding up the phasing out the sales of new fossil-fuelled motorbikes and mopeds by 2035.

The government are currently running a consultation, which means they are seeking feedback from the public and the bike industry, about their views on stopping the sale of new fossil-fuelled motorbikes and mopeds by 2035.
Once this is complete (late 21 September 2022) it is expected the government will analyse the responses. They have stated that a summary of responses, including the following steps, will be published within three months of the consultation closing. We therefore can expect their results by the end of 2022. The responses will likely be used to inform their policy on what happens next.

The consultation period began on 14 July 2022 and will run until 21 September 2022.
