Privately owned electric scooters are illegal on UK roads and pavements, but rental schemes are being trialed in various locations.
These e-scooters are popular in Europe and the US and offer a clean, quick, and convenient mode of transportation.
Some users in the UK believe the government is sending mixed messages by allowing rental schemes but not legalizing privately owned e-scooters.
Proponents argue that e-scooters are no more dangerous than bicycles and are more accessible for people with mobility issues.
However, concerns remain about safety and the potential for e-scooters to replace walking, cycling, and public transport trips.
“The most dangerous drivers are those who rent, because they’re often tourists or occasional riders. The safest drivers are those who own them.”
