Please remove your e-bike from this area immediately and ensure it is not brought back into this location. Only store or park your PLEV in areas explicitly approved under UCL policy. See below.
Why your PLEV was tagged
- Your PLEV pose a significant fire safety risk, particularly when stored in escape routes, circulation spaces, teaching rooms, high-risk areas, or any area not designated for battery-powered devices.
- E-scooters and fully electric e-bikes (with throttle-only operation) are not considered legal for use on public roads or pavements in the UK and therefore must not be brought into or stored within UCL buildings.
The basis for this decision is policy TN066.
Where can I store my PLEV?
You can store your vehicle at these locations provided it is not fully electrically powered:
Suitable parking locations for Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles (EAPCs)
These locations are suitable for e-bikes that use pedals.
If your PLEV is found here again
If this PLEV is found stored in this area again, it will unfortunately be removed due to the fire risk it presents and UCL’s responsibility to maintain a safe environment for all staff, students and visitors.
Do you have questions or want further guidance?
For full details on requirements and restrictions, please refer to UCL’s PLEV Policy (TN066) or contact the UCL Fire Safety Team via fire@ucl.ac.uk.
