Commenting on Transport for London’s e-scooter rental trials, Dr Alison Moore AM, Chair of the London Assembly Transport Committee, says:
“E-scooters could be an easy option for Londoners to move around this city. Public safety must always be a priority. E-scooters cannot be left lying around on pavements disrupting access for anyone.
“Londoners need to know that strong regulations will run across the capital by spring 2021 so they can safely use scooters. We are calling on the Mayor to work with councils to develop appropriate rules for this pilot scheme. Londoners must be able to trust this new scheme and know that they can still use pavements safely.”
