E-bike cyclist cleared of killing Hackney pedestrian

A cyclist has been cleared of killing a pedestrian while riding a modified e-bike in Hackney, east London. Thomas Hanlon, 32, was accused of "going way too quickly" when he hit Sakine Cihan in Kingsland High Street in Dalston, on 28 August 2018. He was acquitted of causing death by careless driving and driving without a licence at the Old Bailey. Jurors took just over an hour to reach their verdicts in what is believed to be the first prosecution of its kind.

Good job they had brakes fitted to their illegally modified bike I suppose
