Rental Micromobility Parking Bays 2026

Overview

Rental e-bikes and e-scooters have become a regular sight on borough streets and can be a convenient alternative to public transport or driving. The number of trips made by rental e-bikes and scooters has increased greatly in Kensington and Chelsea over the last few years. But, we recognise that parking of rental micromobility vehicles on narrow footways can cause a nuisance to residents, particularly where the footway is obstructed for those using wheelchairs or buggies. 

The Council is now proposing to:

  • consolidate existing rental e-bike bays for e-bike and e-scooter use and
  • create additional dedicated parking bays for use by e-bike and e-scooter hire operators and their customers, in existing parking bays across the borough.

The new bays aim to help fill gaps in our current micromobility parking network, and to help address the problem of overspilling in popular existing rental e-bike and e-scooter bays.  We are not proposing to permit more e-bikes or e-scooters to be deployed in the borough, rather this will allow us to bring more control to where these vehicles are parked. In order to introduce these bays in the carriageway, we need to make changes to our traffic management orders.

We are consulting on introducing new micromobility bays in the following locations:
