Introduce mandatory registration and licensing for e-bikes

Closed 101 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the government to introduce mandatory registration and licensing alongside other regulations to align the system with what is in place for mopeds.
We believe a registration system helps to decrease the risk of individuals purchasing second-hand e-bikes that may be defective or unlawfully modified. Requiring e-bike riders to have a license could aid in preventing underage riders through the enforcement of stricter identification protocols. Licensing also ensures that riders possess the necessary experience and are familiar with road regulations.
