I was in a large
halfords at the weekend and the smaller than previous visits escooter display had a warning change to a more indefinite may be illegal or might be not be legal in some circumstances. Or something similar. Previously the sign was in small print and low down but actually said it was illegal to use on public roads.
Has any laws been changed? I thought only trial scheme, rental escooters were legal on public roads when used within the area of the scheme.
A local guy had what he called an ebike. It was very roughly bicycle shaped, albeit with a chunky frame for the battery. It did have escooter sized wheels but there was a pedalling function you could use if say the battery ran out. Anyway he stopped taking the train for awhile and when he came back there was no bike contraption. Apparently the train company saw it as an escooter and stopped him getting on when coming home once and from then on.
