Is motorcycle parking free in Islington?
No — £1.15/day for a petrol bike; for a fully electric one, £0.57/day. A moped parks in the same solo motorcycle bay as a motorbike and pays the same. The only borough where even a fully electric machine has no free route: electric is half price, not exempt. Non-residents can buy a RingGo motorcycle permit, which is cheaper than daily sessions but still a purchase.
