EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, made by TfL under the powers conferred on it by the Pedicabs (London) Act
2024 (c. 7), provide for the licensing of pedicab vehicles in Greater London.
Regulation 3 provides that a pedicab vehicle must not be used in a public place in Greater London
unless a London pedicab vehicle licence is in force for that pedicab vehicle. A pedicab vehicle is
defined in Regulation 2 by reference to the definition of a pedicab in section 1(2) of the Pedicabs
(London) Act 2024.
Regulation 3 makes it an offence for the driver, operator or vehicle licence holder to use, or cause or
permit to be used, a pedicab vehicle without a licence which is punishable by a fine not exceeding
level 4 on the standard scale.
Regulation 4 enables any person to apply to TfL for a London pedicab vehicle licence, which is
granted for one year or such shorter period as TfL considers appropriate. Applications must be
made in the form TfL requires and must be accompanied by the appropriate fee (as set out in the
Pedicabs (London) (Fares and Fees) Regulations 2006) and such information as TfL may require.
Such information includes where the pedicab vehicle is to be stored and where the pedicab vehicle
is fitted with a battery, the location where the battery is to be stored and charged.
Regulation 4 provides for a fee to be paid in respect of the grant of the licence by TfL as set out
in the Pedicabs (London) (Fares and Fees) Regulations 2006. A person to whom a London pedicab
vehicle licence is granted is required to notify TFL within 7 days of any change in the information
which the person supplied to TfL with the application for the licence. A person to whom a London
pedicab vehicle licence is granted is prohibited from transferring the licence to another person.
Regulation 4 enables TfL to share information provided to it with an application with such persons
or bodies as TfL may consider necessary or appropriate. An example of the intended use of this
power is the sharing of information provided to TfL relating to the storage and charging of pedicab
batteries with the London fire brigade. The applicant for a London pedicab vehicle licence is required
to present the pedicab vehicle for inspection and testing by TfL and a person to whom a London
pedicab vehicle licence has been granted must subsequently present the pedicab vehicle for periodic
inspection throughout the duration of the licence as specified by TfL.
Regulation 4 further requires a person to whom a London pedicab vehicle licence has been granted
to keep records of inspection and maintenance, to keep the pedicab vehicle in compliance with all
legislation which applies to the construction, use and operation of the relevant type of pedicab vehicle
and to obtain TfL’s approval to any proposed adaptations or modifications to the pedicab vehicle. A
person to whom a London pedicab vehicle licence has been granted must notify TfL within 7 days
of any change in the ownership of the pedicab vehicle.
Regulation 4 requires a person to whom a London pedicab vehicle licence has been granted to report
to TfL as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event, within 72 hours) any accident to the
pedicab vehicle affecting its safety, performance or appearance or the comfort or convenience of
persons carried in the pedicab vehicle. A pedicab vehicle must not be used in the event that it is found
to be unsafe or fails to conform to the requirements set out in the London Pedicab Specification.
In the event that a pedicab vehicle is found to be unsafe or fails to meet the requirements specified
in the London Pedicab Specification the person to whom a London pedicab vehicle licence has
been granted must present the pedicab vehicle for further inspection and testing by TfL The London
9Document Generated: 2026-02-18
Status: This is the original version (as it was originally made). This
item of legislation is currently only available in its original format.
Pedicab Specification is defined in regulation 2 and is a document published by TfL setting out the
requirements for the specification and use of pedicab vehicles.
Regulation 5 requires a person to whom a London pedicab vehicle licence is issued to have insurance
to carry passengers for hire or reward and provides for it to be an offence not to do so.
Regulation 6 provides for TfL to issue a means of identification for a pedicab vehicle to which a
London pedicab vehicle licence relates which identifies that pedicab vehicle as a pedicab vehicle for
which such licence is in force. A pedicab vehicle to which a London pedicab vehicle licence relates
must not be used in a public place in Greater London unless the means of identification is exhibited
on the pedicab vehicle as TfL may specify in the Pedicab Vehicle Policy (defined in regulation 2 as a
document which TfL may be publish which sets out policies advice and guidance on pedicab vehicle
licencing in London). The means of identification must not be altered or defaced or obscured or
removed from the pedicab vehicle without permission from TfL. The person to whom the means of
pedicab vehicle identification is issued under this regulation must notify TfL within 48 hours in the
event of it being stolen, lost or damaged. A person who without reasonable excuse fails to comply
with regulation 6 is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding
level 4 on the standard scale (£2500).
Regulation 7 enables TfL to issue London pedicab vehicle licence subject to conditions or to refuse
an application. Without affecting TfL’s general power to impose conditions, the conditions which
may be attached to a London pedicab vehicle licence include conditions that nothing authorised
by the licence may be carried out until TfL or some other specified person has given such further
approval as may be specified in the licence; as to the provision, maintenance, testing or operation
of equipment from a pedicab relating to anything authorised by the licence, as to the keeping of
records or the making of returns or giving of other information to TfL and that the holder of the
licence may be excluded from operating, standing or plying for hire between specified times or days,
in specified areas of Greater London, and in other specified circumstances. TfL may also impose
conditions during the term of the licence.
Regulation 8 enables TfL to grant a pedicab vehicle licence only if it is satisfied that the vehicle in
conforms to the requirements set out in the London Pedicab Specification and has not been modified
from the manufacturer’s design. Regulation 8 further provides that a pedicab vehicle is not eligible
for a London pedicab vehicle licence if that pedicab vehicle is already licensed by an authority other
than TfL.
Regulation 9 empowers TfL to vary, suspend or revoke a licence where there has been a breach of
any of the terms of the licence. Specific grounds include arrest or conviction in connection with
a criminal offence, the supply of false or misleading information in the application and failure to
comply with licence conditions. TfL may by notice vary, suspend or revoke a licence at any time
where in its opinion, the safety, performance or regulatory compliance of the pedicab vehicle no
longer conforms to the requirements set out in the London Pedicab Specification.
Regulation 10 requires TfL to give notice of suspension or revocation decisions, which take effect
seven days after service. Where public safety requires immediate effect, TfL may so state in the
notice and the suspension or revocation takes effect upon service. A suspended licence remains
suspended until TfL directs otherwise.
Regulation 11 provides for an offence under the regulation 7 to be a fixed penalty offence. Where on
any occasion an authorised officer believes that a person has committed an offence the authorised
officer may serve the person concerned with a notice (“a fixed penalty notice”) on the spot offering
the person the opportunity of paying a fixed penalty instead of being prosecuted for the offence.
Regulation 12 provides for a fixed penalty notice to be given in respect of a fixed penalty offence.
Where a fixed penalty notice is served, the recipient cannot be convicted of an offence if the person
pays the fixed penalty within 28 days from the date of the notice. No proceedings can be instituted
for the offence until the end of that period. Regulation 12 includes provision relating to the contents,
manner of service and form of fixed penalty notices, provides that the fixed penalty must be paid
10Document Generated: 2026-02-18

to TfL or a person authorised by TfL and that a certificate signed by TfL’s chief operating officer
stating that a fixed penalty was or was not received by a specified date is evidence of the facts stated
in the notice.
Regulation 13 provides for the amount of the fixed penalty which TfL may charge.
Regulation 14 provides that TfL may keep and maintain a register of London pedicab vehicle licences
issued under these Regulations and for the details to be included in the register. TfL may make
publicly available information contained in the register. TfL may also maintain a supplementary
register containing the address of the person to whom a licence is granted which TfL may disclose
to any person only if it appears to TfL that the person has a sufficient reason for requiring that
information.
Regulation 15 provides that instead of appealing to the magistrates court, applicants may request
TfL to reconsider decisions to refuse, renew, vary, suspend or revoke a licence, or to impose licence
conditions or a penalty (other than a fixed penalty). However, if TfL maintains its decision following
reconsideration, the applicant may still appeal to a magistrates’ court. Regulation 15 provides that if
any decision of TfL appealed against involves the execution of any work or the taking of any action
or makes it unlawful for any person to carry on a business which they were lawfully carrying on at
the time of the decision for the decision not to take effect until the time for appealing has expired
or (where an appeal is brought) until the appeal is disposed of or withdrawn. However this does not
apply in relation to a decision that has immediate effect due to interests of public safety.
