Legalise private e-scooters on public roads and bike lanes

What the petition asks
The government should allow e-scooters to be ridden on public roads and bike lanes.
I believe it is unfair that people are getting their private e-scooters seized by the police, because they are only allowed to the driven on private land. What is the point of owning an e-scooter if you can’t ride it in public?
