We want the government to introduce mandatory registration and licensing alongside other regulations to align the system with what is in place for mopeds.

Register and license all high-powered electric bikes and off-road e-motorbikes
We ask the Government to require registration and insurance for all high-powered electric bikes, and to restrict sale of unregistered or untraceable vehicles.
Introduce compulsory third party insurance for electric mobility scooters
There is currently no legal requirement for drivers of electric mobility scooters to obtain third party insurance cover; as such any person sustaining injuries through negligence of the driver can have a low chance of claiming compensation. We would like to see compulsory insurance introduced.
Improve safety for E-Bikes and E-Scooters to reduce injuries
• Make helmets mandatory • Introduce drink/drug limits, with enforceable testing powers • Raise minimum age FOR USE to 18 • Cap rental e-bike/scooter speeds at 12 mph nationwide • Require safety inspections and minimum maintenance standards • Strengthen penalties against dangerous riding
New road safety legislation for cyclists & mandate safety gear and reg numbers
We want the Government to introduce laws regulating the behaviour of cyclists on the road. This should include making it an offence to: • Using a mobile phone whilst cycling • Not stopping at traffic lights and pedestrian crossings
Require proof of license when selling speed pedelecs
Currently UK sellers of speed pedelecs are not obliged to confirm that a purchaser holds a valid moped or motorcycle licence. This needs to become a legal requirement. In addition the seller should record the buyer name, address, insurance & tax details before the purchaser can complete the purchase
