EBC, known for its custom-built e-bikes, had recently attempted a crowdfunding campaign that fell short. Lupton-Smith is now shifting his focus to e-bike safety advocacy.

Brighton & Hove City Council is proposing a regulated e-scooter trial, set to begin in 2026 if approved. The scheme would involve approximately 300 e-scooters, available at around 30 existing Bikeshare hubs operated by Beryl. Key safety measures include a minimum age of 17 with a provisional driving license, a 12.5 mph speed limit, use restricted to roads and cycle lanes, and geofencing to control operating zones. A public consultation will be held before the final decision to provide a legal alternative to private e-scooters and reduce car use.
