“During our investigation into the cause of the collision, we have received a great deal of support from the local community, and I would like to thank them for that support.
“The investigation is ongoing, and again, I would like to appeal for witnesses and to anyone who has dashcam/CCTV from the area, to come forward.
“If you think you can help and haven’t yet spoken to us, please get in touch.
“The e-bike was ridden away from the scene of the collision before the emergency services arrived, and it is so important that we trace the person who removed it and trace the e-bike which we believe was black and purple in colour.
