The girl serving behind the counter in our local Co-op was struggling to walk today. She said that she had fallen off her electric scooter. She admitted that she knew she wasn't supposed to use it, and she said that she was never going to use it again.

Just been to my daughters place in Trowbridge, Wiltshire.
Saw quite a few obviously illegal fat bikes, and others ( but no scooters !), being ridden round town. Not only with no pedalling but through pedestrian areas even the wrong way up one way streets. None seemed to be delivery riders.
This wild west I can do anything I like/is convenient to me is extremely self centred and will land us all in regulatory hell.

I went to Aldi in the town centre today. On the way down, I got passed by a guy not pedalling on a bike with a pancake motor in the back. When I came out of Aldi, there was a Sur-Ron clone in the rack next to my bike. On the way back, I saw a fairly young girl on one of those powerful scooters with 10" wheels, riding slowly next to her pedestrian friend. I saw one other bike during the whole journey, which was a normal non-electric bike. That makes 50% of the two-wheeled vehicles around that journey illegal, 66% of the electric ones illegal, and 10% of the electric ones that weren't mine illegal.
wild west
I see more and more non pedaling e bikes usually the fat tyre creations and all sorts riding them young and old. Scooters as well.
I sometimes go across town to pick up my granddaughters from school and there is a boy comes out of there with a non pedaling "dinner plate special". Sometimes giving a mate a lift.
On a couple of occasions I`v seen a what looks like a well off boy with Sur-Ron type bike with girlfriend on the back hanging around zooming up and down the road no helmets and no attempt to hide identities. Probably playing truant and waiting for mates to finish school.
I`d add this is a good area smart new houses and a new sought after school.
I wrote a bit last Saturday on this thread about some hooded youths on a motorcycle who the police totally ignored.
Sign of the times.......

Most of the E- bikes in regular use I ses now have speed switches , noe pedal action. They are either DD rear hubs with the odd front DD hub or those silly looking monkey style bikes with 20" wheels and fat tyres.
Now the sun is here and summer on the way one expects the pletherer of bosh type bikes will be dusted off and out and about soon using the sign posted cycle routes.

I'd never thought about that, but you're right. I rarely see bikes with Bosch motors on normal roads, nor parked up at the shops, but i see them quite a lot whenever I'm on an official cycle route. What's everybody else got to say about that?
