I’ll probably get dragged for my opinion, but I’m glad they did, as a lot of people use them to commute. E-scooters, regardless of wattage, are allowed on the greenbelt with a 15mph speed limit, can be on roadways, as well as e-bikes. E-motos are however still banned, which is fine with me as we all know the packs of North End Surron kids are actual menaces.
It is irritating to me that the main cause of a lot of the negativity towards e-scooters are the Lime kids. As they’re rentals, they have no skin in the game as people have spent sometimes thousands of dollars on their choice of micro-mobility, so they ride recklessly, don’t pass safely, and take up both lanes of the greenbelt. I think there should also be a minimum age limit on them.
Ready to get dragged, and for thoughts on this.
