Legalize the use of e-scooters where bikes can be used.

Closed 817 signatures

What the petition asks

Change the law that states it is illegal to use electric scooters on public land. They should be allowed to be used the same way as bicycles.
It is an eco-friendly way to get around and could likely reduce traffic congestion aswell as pollution emitted from motorised vehicles (Cars, trucks, motorbikes etc.)
