Equate electric vehicles (e-bikes etc) to automotive transport.

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

Change the rules so electrically assisted vehicles able to go over certain speed (I.e 10 m/h) should follow same traffic rules as cars: require registration, number plate, driving license and be banned from using pavements and pedestrian only spaces

Electrical vehicles (e-bikes, e-scooters etc.) are capable of going in excess of 30 m/h causing high risk for pedestrians when driving on pavements. There is no control over their ownership and very often they are used by teenagers and people unconcerned about their danger

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a similar action: Require e-bike riders to be licensed & regulated like mopeds
