Motorcycle bays, borough rules, parking apps and how to keep your moped secure.

Where can you park an electric moped in London?

Electric mopeds can park in motorcycle bays across London, many of which are free or low-cost depending on the borough. Some boroughs offer free motorcycle parking; others charge a small daily or annual fee. A dedicated motorcycle-parking app is the easiest way to find legal bays near your destination.

You generally shouldn’t park on the pavement or in car bays. Because every Moon Fleets vehicle includes GPS tracking and an anti-theft lock, you also have security cover wherever you park.

Where can you park — motorcycle bays and borough rules?

Most London boroughs provide dedicated motorcycle bays. Rules vary: in some boroughs they’re free, in others you pay per day or buy an annual permit. Central boroughs are more likely to charge, while many outer boroughs are free.

Always check the signage at the bay and your borough’s motorcycle-parking page — a quick search for “[borough] motorcycle parking” gives you the current rules.

Which apps and security keep parking simple?

Parking apps designed for motorcycles show nearby legal bays and any charges, so you’re not circling the block. It’s worth setting one up before your first commute.

For security, always use the lock provided, park in a well-lit bay where possible, and rely on the built-in GPS tracking. With a Moon Fleets subscription, theft is handled in-house and the GPS helps recovery.
