The Government are aware of the problems associated with motorbike misuse, in particular miniature motorbikes. There is now a range of tools and powers in place to deal effectively with this problem and we are actively encouraging their use.

These specific powers enable immediate action to be taken against antisocial riders, ensuring that communities do not have to suffer prolonged misery caused by the antisocial use of mini-motorbikes.

The Home Office is producing a guidance document to help practitioners.
