Deliveroo says it will warn riders and may block or ban them from using its platform if they are caught travelling too fast on illegal e-bikes while delivering food.
Multiple outlets report Deliveroo is tightening enforcement as part of a road-safety response. The company’s warnings are tied to use of e-bikes that exceed legal speed limits. Coverage also notes that Deliveroo plans to introduce or expand technology to detect when riders are speeding, indicating a more systematic approach to monitoring rider behaviour.
The reports frame the move as responding to broader concerns about safety and compliance, including pressure on platforms to act. While the outlets differ slightly in wording—some referring to “blocking” riders and others to a “ban”—they broadly agree Deliveroo’s actions target illegal high-speed e-bike use and that repeat or confirmed speeding incidents could affect a rider’s ability to access future work.
