A daring incident unfolded near Lincoln when an electric motorbike, worth approximately £3,500, was confiscated by the local police. Lincolnshire Police reported that the duo on the Talaria Sting were asked to pull over on the Eastern Bypass this past Friday. The officer’s attention was drawn to the pair, noticeably devoid of helmets and instead sporting raised hoods, a decision described by a police spokesperson as ‘a truly poor choice and also illegal.’ The rider attempted an escape, swerving the bike off the road. However, a patch of gravel caused a loss of control, leading to a hasty foot chase by the fugitives, as per the police force’s account.
