Introduce mandatory registration and licensing for e-bikes
We want the government to introduce mandatory registration and licensing alongside other regulations to align the system with what is in place for mopeds.
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
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
Allow electric e-scooters to be able to ride on pavements and roads
I don't understand why Parliament have made this rule, I think e-scooters, bikes and other e modes of transport are a good thing.
E-bike and e-scooter fire risk increasing
The number of fires caused by lithium-ion batteries in e-bikes and e-scooters has increased significantly nationally. Residents are warned about charging safety to prevent house fires.
