It's illegal in the uk because here your desire for profit and your customers lack of regard for other people doesn't as yet override those other people's right to walk down the pavement unmolested.
We have cycle lanes and powered push bikes. If the output is less than 250w and can do no more 15mph then they can be used on the roads in cycle lanes without a licence or road tax.
- Lio 8y agoI completely agree with you. I’ll just point out that in the UK we don’t have road tax and haven’t had since it was abolished in 1937. Instead we have Vehicle Excise Duty, VED, which is a tax on emissions. Which is why electric vehicles pay no VED.
- Waterluvian 8y agoI really really want to experiment with that. Can I hook a gas generator to my bike? During the ride or only before?
- youngbullind 8y agoYou are a gas generator. I'd hope it's not so voluminous or noxious that you require regulation
- Grue3 8y agoBecause so many people are "molested" by electric scooters every day where they're legal. Oh wait, that's cars.
- tonyedgecombe 8y agoIf the output is less than 250w and can do no more 15mph then they can be used on the roads in cycle lanes without a licence or road tax. Scooters can't because they are throttle operated, there is a problem with the law in this regard.
