Use of E Scooters and Electric Motorcycles Peasedown St John.
The use of mechanically propelled transport such as E Scooter or E Bicycles that do not require pedalling is not permitted on the road or any public spaces including footpaths and bridle ways. They are covered by the same laws and regulations that cover all motor vehicles. As such if you are caught using such transport you are liable to the same penalties as if you were using a motor vehicle. Such as fines or penalty points under Road Traffic Regulations including seizure of the transport device. In recent months we have received a number of complaints about the use of E Transport in Peasedown St John, Neighbourhood Officers will be speaking to E Transport users to educate and if necessary, enforce current legislation.
