In England, outside of London, local authorities can regulate pedicabs as hackney carriages under existing legislation. The Government has committed to bringing forward measures that would enable TfL to regulate pedicabs in London through the upcoming Transport Bill. Should this Bill become law, it would be for TfL to determine the details of how any regulations would operate.
