Excited for you all🙂. I’m in the 🇺🇸, and see the restrictions in 🇬🇧 as bureaucratic nonsense. Hopefully Charles will help fast track this issue beneficially for U.K. E-fans.
While they’re reviewing the law , I would love us to have a fast category of e-bike like Switzerland up to 28mph and 1000w with a small licence plate, vehicle registration and why not have insurance ?
It could shed light. Do we know if any MPs have shares in any of the scooter trial companies? If so, they'll at least keep that going. But I suspect they'll go with the populist move of banning them, claim the projects have failed, and garner some votes from the elderly people who are totally paranoid about being run over, as if mobility scooters couldn't have been doing that for decades and aren't ten times the mass. Those who voted for Brexit, or Blair and other disastrous mistakes would love to kill e-scooters. It's something that unites them on all parts of the political spectrum. Along with any other kind of Luddite position they can find and being terrified that people are in the 'wrong' toilet.
Legislation for e-scooters not happening or anything seeming to be done about it. Welcome to your government. Where nothing gets done unless you're a powerful lobbyist with deep pockets. 😡
It won't happen (YET) 😔 I don't think the UK government cares about legalising eScooters. The Tories have become car centric and moving the country backwards. 😅 I want it to be legel. eMobilty is the future of personal electric transport. 🌹
The police have recently told me that they will be legalised September October 2024 Ready for Christmas They're going to need to have 2 brakes and the minimum of 10 in wheels The way people are riding at the moment i will be surprised if they ever get legalised A lad rode through a red light just missed me and hit a woman, I was wearing recording spyglasses at the time testing them out To use as a cycling camera I got him on camera gave it to the police
Sorry but if e scooters come into the market, a small minority will always screw it up for the masses. Don’t legalize them, the elderly, young, etc will thank you for it. The data is available where scooters were legalized then banned…. It’s just common sense and most of all safety.
Elec scooters/bikes. …..fav mode of transport for hoodies and gang's for getting around!…..keep death off our streets!!!…..unfortunately the bad far outways the good with these machines. The more illegal machines that are getting imported highlights this problem. Just another headache for the police. Come live where I live and see the carnage these machines are causing!
No mention of e-scooters (or the Transport Bill) in the King's Speech today…UK needs to hurry up & get on with making them legal to ride on public roads

Cyclist can take a break, the gamons have a new unlocked scooterist to hate more.
Put them in the same category as fireworks😂

maybe esk8's as well?
Kicking the can down the road for years. Ridiculous.
A lot of escooter riders just ignoring the law at present anyway.

The government needed time to figure out a taxation scheme!

The murky subject is that you have a king though, right? What year is it?
Thanks EH for keeping us informed. There should be parity with bicycles.
E scooters and cannabis legalisation would be a dream come true lol 😂
The police have recently told me that they will be legalised September October 2024
Ready for Christmas
They're going to need to have
2 brakes and the minimum of 10 in wheels

People who ride them are gay asf
LZEV = low speed zero emissions vehicle.
This is the name of the new UK law.
I forget how ridiculous the British are until they start fawning over parasitic royalty.
Hopefully common sense prevails on November 7 😅 escooters are legalised period
So taken 4 years to get to a possible mention?
Is there a public consultation exercise?
I was going to get a 60mph scooter anyways at least now I don't need to get away from the police

Tories are a danger to the planet. Anyone who has ever voted for them is an animal.
