Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their planned timetable for the introduction of legislation to regulate the use of electric scooters and other similar vehicles.
The Future of Mobility: Urban Strategy, published on 19 March 2019, includes a commitment to conduct a Regulatory Review to address the challenges of ensuring our transport infrastructure and regulation are fit for the future.
One strand of this will look at options for enabling uptake of safe and sustainable micromobility devices. A consultation is planned to be issued shortly.
No timetable for the introduction of legislation for micromobility has been set as this is dependent on the outcomes of the consultation.
