Change the Law to allow electric scooters on UK pavements and roads

The Issue

Our laws currently do not allow for the use of electric scooters on our roads and cycle paths, this is despite the fact that electric mobility scooters are allowed.

At a time when the UK like many countries throughout the world are trying to improve the environment by reducing carbon emissions, our government denying the people a means of cheap and environmentally friendly transportation.

Scooters are no more a danger to other road users than cyclists, or mobility scooters so please sign this partition so that we can get the government to change the law.
