An illegal e-bike was also seized in Highfield after being found with throttle control and capable of reaching 22mph without pedal assistance.
A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: “We will continue our proactive work around Farnworth and Kearsley, and we are dedicated to taking all illegal e-bikes, off-road bikes, and illegal Sur-Ron’s off our streets.
“Please continue to report the use of these bikes in your area to help us build an accurate intelligence picture.”
