As we mentioned in our recent blog, ‘Is it Legal to Ride an Electric Scooter in the UK’, the government has begun the process of updating legislation to make electric scooters legal to ride on UK streets.
While this is an excellent step in the right direction, the legal processes required to change the laws are lengthy, and in the current circumstances we believe that the legislation should be urgently prioritised to allow electric scooter owners to avoid using crowded public transport.
If you would like to help us raise this issue with the government, please sign this petition which requests that escooters are legalised as soon as possible.
At eScooter, we believe that micromobility vehicles, including electric scooters, are a vital part of the UK government’s plan for transport revolution, as detailed in the ‘Future of Transport Regulatory Review’. Given the crisis that the entire country faces now and through the coming months, we strongly believe that this legislation needs to be fast-tracked through parliament, now.
