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.
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.
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.
Cycling safety improvements recommended for London
The London Cycling Campaign is advocating for candidates who support improved cycling safety and a joined-up cycling network across the city.
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.
