Change in legislation.

London, UK – 11 May 2022:

Baroness Vere of Norbiton, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Transport, announced in the House of Lords today that the UK Government will be creating a new vehicle class for e-scooters.

Baroness Vere said: “Safety is at the heart of our plans to create a regulatory framework for smaller, lighter, zero-emission vehicles, sometimes known as e-scooters. Their popularity is clear and new rules are needed to improve safety and crack down on illegal use whilst unlocking innovation and growth in this emerging multi-billion pound industry.
