Yes they’re illegal. But legalising them would be a step towards safer batteries, safer users. The real issue is the Police dont want to make the roads safe any more over here. They themselves are boy-racers.
The Government also had the option of stopping the private scooters from coming into the country and they too did nothing. They had the option of enforcing safety standards and did nothing there, either.
I wonder how their safety stastistics compare to, lets say, for example, for the sake of argument… cars?
Cars (drivers) kill 3000x more people here in the UK and injure something like 200,000 a year compared to about a hundred with escooters and ebikes.
Yes, but have you considered that these dangerous bikes might make that necessary suffering caused by cars even worse? Think about the drivers!
Absolutely no self awareness.
Accompanied by a picture of a very high end emtb which no one in their right mind would ever commute with. Like that thing must cost at least $10k.
It would actually make their point more to show a cargo bike since they’re heavier, but maybe they’re not even aware they exist?
can only hear it as Gollum grabbing Frodo and shouting “Too risky! Too risky!”
