Petition Allow 'Personal Electric Vehicles' to use cycle lanes and walkways.
Allow the responsible use of personally owned electric vehicles with speed / power restrictions on cycle lanes and walkways. I would like to see similar access to that which is allowed mobility scooters on public walkways and cycle lanes. Is a mobility aid for the able too much to ask?
More details
Given the global uptake on the use of personal electric vehicles such as scooters, unicycles, onewheels and the numerous segway type devices I believe it is something inevitable and needs legalisation. There are numerous stories of people replacing their polluting car journeys with the greener, healthier, outdoor option of the personal electric vehicle and often completing their journey in half the time travelling at half the speed. I myself have been a lot more active since owning a PEV.
