The rules detail application procedures, annual licensing periods, required vehicle specifications (outlined in the London Pedicab Specification), mandatory insurance, and the requirement for unique vehicle identification.

They establish offences for unlicensed operation, set out conditions under which TfL can impose, vary, suspend, or revoke licences—including for safety breaches or criminal activity by the holder—and establish a system of fixed penalty notices for certain contraventions, alongside a formal process for internal reconsideration and right to appeal license decisions.
