Causing too many accidents and injuries and banned completely from the City.
Common sense outbreak in Australia.

if they had not the E word in their name they,d have been banned here at the outset. its not just on the pavements that they are a hazard as only recently there was a fire in a house by charging them up at night that could have spread to a property next door.

When I lived up Throston you could hire one from opposite the shops where Tesco is, are they still available to hire in the town ?

They are motor scooters so should not be allowed on the path (same as a motor bike). The fact the engine is electric rather than combustion engine makes no difference.

I believe the phrase used is ‘mechanically propelled’…therefore the user should hold a licence, it should be insured, it should have a registration plate and the driver wears a crash helmet.
One the bikes came down the prom near Newburn Bridge early last weekend doing over thirty and the traditional ski mask, heading for Seaton.

Yep, can't disagree with any of that

I call them Chav Chariots, they should indeed be banned as they're a fucking menace!

If you clipped one in your car, it would be you that would be held responsible, regardless of how much it wasn't your fault - properly boils my piss!

Double post

All you need now is a crossbar and net

Nice one Leggie!

years ago you could buy petrol powered scooters that were no quicker but you would have been pushed getting one a few hundred yards before the police stopped you and took it off you.
