Dockless e-bikes that have been parked dangerously will be seized by a central London council in a further crackdown.
Westminster City Council said it would physically remove Lime, Forest, Voi and Bolt e-bikes that were obstructing the highway, including bikes on dropped kerbs, bus lanes, cycle lanes, doorways or access ramps.
The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) said badly parked e-bikes were a serious safety threat to people with sight loss.
Forest, Voi, Bolt and Lime said they supported efforts to tackle poor parking and were working to encourage responsible use of their e-bikes.
The council said that once any bikes had been seized, they would be taken to a storage facility and become available for collection after the company that owned them had paid a fee.
