Closed Ban sale of e-scooters to the public until legislation on their use is in place

Closed on

I would like the Government to ban the sale of any and all E-scooters to the public, until legislation has been passed governing their use in public. This means until legislation providing for their use in public is in place there should be NO sale of them to any member of the public.

Under current legislation privately owned e-scooters CANNOT be legally ridden on a public road, Cycle lane or pavement; and they can only be ridden on private land. However many do not respect this. If you look to any city centre you will see E-scooters been ridden on the pavement and on the road. Their riders often behave carelessly, with disregard for pedestrians and other road users.
