What the petition asks
Legalise the use of electric bikes and scooters for use of the public.
We believe that use of these items could lower carbon emissions and get people out more. It could save time and money that people might otherwise spend on fossil fuels for simple tasks like going to the shops.
Mobility scooters are legal, so we think e-bikes and e-scooters should be too.
We believe that the majority of people riding said scooters and bikes are careful around the public.
