We feel current laws demand costly motorcycle licenses, tax, and insurance—impeding cheap travel.","additional_details":"We want the Government to stop punishing low-income commuters and young people, and to give us affordable transport! We feel travel costs are too high. E-bikes provide free travel but can cost thousands to buy. Gas-powered bicycles and pit bikes under 100cc can cost a fraction of the price and match e-bike top speeds, yet current legislation restricts their use.\r\n\r\nLegalising the use of gas-powered bicycles and pit bikes could create transport equality for low-income workers and youth, and unlock affordable, independent travel!","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":12,"closing_date":"2027-03-28","created_at":"2026-08-29T10:47:39.187Z","updated_at":"2026-09-30T21:24:40.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-09-28T09:30:05.064Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-08-30T12:04:10.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Ruhan Vasudev","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DfT","name":"Department for Transport","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-transport"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":12}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Brent East","ons_code":"E14001122","mp":"Dawn Butler MP","signature_count":4},{"name":"Brent West","ons_code":"E14001123","mp":"Barry Gardiner MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Brentwood and Ongar","ons_code":"E14001125","mp":"Alex Burghart MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ealing Central and Acton","ons_code":"E14001207","mp":"Dr Rupa Huq MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ealing Southall","ons_code":"E14001209","mp":"Deirdre Costigan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ellesmere Port and Bromborough","ons_code":"E14001222","mp":"Justin Madders MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Hendon","ons_code":"E14001279","mp":"David Pinto-Duschinsky MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kingswinford and South Staffordshire","ons_code":"E14001316","mp":"Mike Wood MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":1},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":1},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":1},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":8},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":1}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
