The 26 men and seven women aged from 24 to 70 were detained on Tuesday and Wednesday on suspicion of offences such as riding an unregistered mobility device, driving without a licence and using a vehicle without third-party insurance.
The suspects included a 37-year-old woman who was intercepted while riding an electric bicycle with a four-year-old child strapped to an unstable seat in a busy area in Sheung Shui, police revealed on Thursday.
&#;The seat was fixed with straps hanging on the bicycle frame, but not firmly secured,&#; Senior Inspector Kwok Chun-lok said.

He added the woman&#;s cycling behaviour had forced pedestrians to dodge her bicycle and posed risks to passers-by. She was also arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving.

A recent crackdown on increasingly popular electric bikes and other unauthorised mobility devices in the New Territories has again put the spotlight on road safety compliance. It also has revived concerns about how the time from innovation to regulation may stall the safe and effective adoption of new technologies.

The government should speed up its review of the issue to enable the use of devices without compromising personal and public safety.
In what is seen as the biggest operation of its kind in recent years, as many as 84 people were rounded up by police in just three days this month. About one-third of the devices seized were linked to the delivery of food.
Some parents were also found taking their children to and from school on electric bicycles.
