Transport Secretary Grant Shapps pledges to crack down on illegal e-scooter sales in England
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has promised to “crack down” on illegal e-scooter sales in England.
E-scooters are currently only legal for use on the roads if they are hired as part of government trials, which have safety features such as speed limits of 15.5mph and automatic lights.- including London, Newcastle, Bristol and Bournemouth - are already operating rental trial schemes. “The first thing to do is to set standards. How powerful can they be, how fast do they go, do they have indicators, do they have lights at night and so on," he said.
