This whole private e scooter law, is only a greedy, malicious scam from the government so that you pay to use these GREENER vehicles. They don’t want you using your own one because then the money goes to Xiaomi, Macwheel etc, the manufacturer of the scooters and not them. Police only go by the law because they suck up to the government for their wages.
I think police have far more important and serious crimes to deal with than people who ride these, especially those who do so responsibly and considerably, such as people breaking lockdown rules and making illegal raves. THAT is putting people at risk. Do not listen to any crap on here, eventually it will have to be made legal to ride these, because there are too many around and even like here, police have admitted it.
A motorised vehicle? Please… but you’re allowing E-bikes which are twice as fast as a scooter to be legal? Yeah just keep destroying this planet and sucking up your wages
