The legal speed limit for electric bikes is 15.5mph. Illegally modified bikes such as the ones in this video are capable of speeds in excess of 60mph. Tracked from above by the National Police Air Service, this pair were caught tearing through public parks, over sports pitches and past vehicles on public roads, putting innocent passers-by in Doncaster at serious risk. After they ditched their bikes officers from South Yorkshire Police’s Motorcycle and Rural Crime Team were on them within seconds. The bikes were seized and both riders, aged 16 and 17, have been reported on summons for driving offences. New police powers mean riders like these now risk losing their vehicles for good. Officers can seize bikes used anti-socially without a warning - and have them destroyed in as little as 7 days.

Where are my stolen tools from van
Ahh, so you can track people..
All that, for a telling off? Money well spent guys
the boats are still coming, but don’t worry they got the kids riding their bikes
If only you put that much effort into the illegal boats coming over
Honestly helicopters to catch bikes, forget stabbings rozza, get those kids
Send them the bill for the helicopter
Must've been some hardened criminals to warrant this.
When I was a lad, kids used to steal cars and joyride, even the standard of criminal has declined in the UK now. 😂😂
wasted some resources for some petty incident while some real crimes got off scot-free.
I had a knife pulled on me outside of my house because I tried stopping a man from beating his wife. The police did not even turn up to help. Just an interview 4 days later and some bullshit portal link to upload evidence. The bloke was later NDA’d and is probably still beating his wife and carrying knives. But I’m glad you got two bikes of our streets. Ground breaking stuff that chaps
Boys start the helicopter up we got boys doing wheelies
I’d love to see a full breakdown of the cost to the tax payer for 2 kids on bicycles, obviously nothing else of concern going on in the UK for the police to deal with then ?
Keeping us all safe aren’t you? 😂😂
Good policing , would love to see more officers out on the streets 🙏🏼
So it literally cost £3710 for every hour that helicopter is in the sky, just to catch some kids riding bikes 👏👏
Funny how they cant find people who escape custody after committed terrible crimes
Cost about 20k of police work for what?
Shame that helicopter wasn’t a gunship!
The cost of this outweighs the problem.
