Include electric scooters as EAPC's

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Electric scooters are currently illegal on public roads in the UK. They should be added to the EN15194 law. The same law that covers EAPC's, otherwise known as electronic bicycles

If this law were to be updated with the fashionable electronic scooters then we, as a country would have more chance of cutting carbon emissions in the future.
