Well, you haven't mentioned them, to be fair. Just seems a bit of an overkill, to expect scooter riders to have far more regulations than those who have none whatsoever - wouldn't you agree?

Why do you feel that scooters should have all the above, yet cyclists who can go a lot faster (assuming scooters will be limited to 15.5 mph) and e-bike riders are exempt from the conditions you are suggesting? Simply put, why do scooters need all that, yet the other users, don't?

Same - fingers crossed, eh? :)

The sentence made very little (if any sense), as far as I'm concerned, but I'm glad that you seemed to understand it.

I've already stated that I'm happy to have insurance (if required) but I'm not happy if it's just scooters that are singled out - do you think they should be, and if so, why?

My shrug was due to the fact that I didn't even understand the post, but I assume he's one of 'those' to which you refer. :lolol: Still, can't hold back progress for the sake of a few with attitude problems - they just need educating.

:shrug:

If limited to 15.5mph, then precisely no more and no less than cyclists currently do.

I've also added these to the handlebars - brilliant little things. https://cycl.bike/products/winglights360-mag

Yep, and so easy to slip into a pocket, being the size they are, nowadays. The older ones needed such huge batteries, I tended to take my chances and leave them attached to the bike. It didn't always pan out very well, though. :lolol:

God, those dynamos were awful, weren't they? Modern lights are incredibly brighter, more efficient and simple to attach and remove, which is why I find it crazy that so many choose to not bother with them.

I do take your point, to be fair, but that's for the e-scooter riders (myself included) to take on the chin, as cyclists have done (here) for a long time. As has been said, they're not going away, so we'll all have to muddle along as usual and hope the 'people' you mention become a little more...

If that's the case, you are pretty much penalising the potential scooters users, due to the behaviour of car users, which (to me) seems absurd. It's akin (although obviously not as serious) to stopping women from wearing provocative clothing because some men are unable to control themselves...

Ask a silly question.... :)

Absolutely, and shared-space (and consideration) should be the end goal, especially if the use of scooters helps limit the number of unnecessary short car journeys around town.

Yep, fine with that, completely, and while we're at it, enforce the use of lights at night - for ALL road users. I was always under the impression that it was illegal to cycle without lights, yet it's commonplace over the last few decades.

Which equally applies to cyclists/e-bike riders, yet they somehow manage. :)

May I ask why you think that?

If, as is likely, they are limited to 15mph, I see no reason to have any further legislation than cyclists already have - be they normal or e-bikes. I would be happy to have some kind of insurance, but other than that I don't see the need.

Inokim Light 2 They've almost halved in price over the past couple of years. Fantastic build quality and decent enough range for me.
