Rejected petition: Allow escooters use for general public use without persecution or loss
Rejected on
Allow the general public the ability to use escooters for use with the same regulations as ebikes.
We would be allowing ordinary folks the ability to save money, the planet and getting to and from places of work or leisure.
Police have been instructed to remove the items and prosecute the operator for travel on pathways and redways and we believe this is not on.
To and from a place of work to reduce the costs of living or to places of leisure.
This mode of transport is saving the planet and saving money for the owners.
