sorted byWhat if I get 2. One for each foot?
Don't get the keyboard warriors started. These particular ones are toy ones for kids.
I'd need three. One for my middle leg
What's 'Parking lots'
FFS
You sir, could suck the fun out of a stone
correct they are,
1835 says it all. I guess most parents encourage their children to break the law, as the parks are full with kids riding bicycles on pavement. Better watch out when my 3 year old will come out on full speed, 2 miles per hour on his electric car, it will be carnage😁
I guess police does not say much because the law is not clear enough. Damn with the EU, we now have to comply with their legislation , we should come out and start applying the Victorian rules. Was planning to get the drone out today, but it probably does not comply with the air traffic act 1622.
By the way, I'm not saying you are wrong, the law is the law! Ask Boris😁 (edited)
Good grief are you spamming every battery powered toy with this nonsense?
For the moment, they are mostly stopping people and telling them that riding escooters is illegal. What usually happens next is the rider picks up his scooter and carries it away. If not, they can charge you with not having licence, registration, insurance, and so on, and they have done so- LINK
Nothing to do with the EU - it's old UK legislation (you know, the stuff the ancient Brexiteers want to go back to 'cos it was better in the old days with rickets, etc.). They forget it was pre-electricity and kids were sent up chimneys then !
You are probably more likely to get struck by lightning than get in trouble for riding this toy scooter The very worst case scenario is you would be told you are not allowed to ride it. I bet you are great fun at dinner parties.
i hope a little child plays on one in my quiet street as the police will be getting called instantly and hopefully prosecute the child and the parents, i am absolutely disgusted that they think they can have fun on these little scooters, not in my town.
Awesome idea!
It is also illegal to ride a bicycle on pedestrian pavements. Any motorised transport is covered by the Road Traffic Act 1988 and the Highway Act 1835 (which also applies to unpowered vehicles) LINK. Electrically assisted pedal cycles and mobility scooters have their own regulations, but escooters and other powered "toys" don't comply, so are viewed under the law the same as an unregistered, uninsured motor car.
Yes they are but I see them everywhere including bikes! Dont think people care about that and think the police have better things to do than chance it up. With the idiots on the roads these days I cant say I blame people ither for doing it!
The police also don't care about speeding. I see loads of people speeding.
I'm not saying it is not a good law, I'm saying it needs to be updated in line with what 'vehicles ' we have now. The same as it had happened with vaping. I certainly do not want lorries on my road, but I don't mind kids riding scooters on the pavement. Police does not know what to do if they find you using an electric scooter. People do not know if they should buy it either. One rule applies somewhere, same rule does not apply in a different part of the country. Rules should be rules.
With regards to the scooter in question, I personally believe it is ridiculous kids not to be allowed to ride this almost everywhere apart from where the cars drive, but this is my personal opinion. (edited)
My god, you were so right
I know right. In every electric scooter thread without fail. Even one aimed at kids!
I assume you stop children riding their bikes on pavements and in parks to warn them they should be riding on the road? That's equally as illegal under the same act that covers these toys... (edited)
You thought wrong - it wasn’t me. People can use them legally or illegally if they wish - that’s none of your business. I can see you’re quite willing continue with your yawnfest comments boring everyone else on here so I’ll bow out and see if I can change my settings so that I don’t have to read your mundane comments going forward!
Yeah often see pensioners being pulled over on their mobility scooters and then picking them up , putting it under their arm and walking home..::.(highfive)
Still illegal to use in any public place, including parks and even private property where the public are allowed access (like parking lots). So where will the kid ride it? Or do you tell him it is OK to break the law? (edited)
Alternative spelling of "car parks".
From the popular song- "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot". (edited)
Weight 6kg, max speed 8mph, why this one should be more dangerous in a park than a kids bicycle? Not saying is right to break the law, but I rather get hit by this than a bicycle.
Got this one for my 3 year old one, is this classed the same as the scooter and cannot be used in parks?

It has been updated- in that legislation has been added to permit mobility scooters and wheelchairs to use pedestrian paths. No need to change the base 1835 law for that. If Parliament thought fit, they could legislate further, to allow other vehicles on footpaths, but they haven't. They have also added legislation to permit the use of electrically assisted pedal bicycles (with various restrictions on speed, etc) but not on footpaths. This would be additional to the Road Traffic Act 1988. Apologists for illegal escooter use often make much of the age of the 1835 law, as if it made it invalid, but it has been illegal to commit murder and other crimes for much longer. Not an issue.
If there is a future change to allow escooters, I would expect it to be additional to the Road Traffic Act 1988, not to the Highway Act 1835, as they are unlikely to allow them on pedestrian footpaths any more than they do bicycles or electric bicycles. They will also likely have an age limit and many type restrictions like the EAPCs - LINK. Escooters you can buy now almost certainly won't comply.
No fun to get into legal trouble. If people want to take the risk, then at least they know what they are risking.
It’s a post for a deal on an electric scooter - your comments about them are nothing to do with the deal. They’re just boring and unnecessary. I think everyone knows by now that these are illegal to use other than on private property because every deal for an electric scooter is hijacked by you or another killjoy that wants to get their boring comments in there!
Yes exactly that as they are too young to be prosecuted lol
Obviously members of the working bores club est. 1835
Get me one of these on my local pavement zoooooooooom...
The police don't care about illegal motorbikes either. But I guess they can't catch them.
Yes, it is. I don't enforce the rules. Parents should be telling their kids. It seems harmless enough when they are little but they keep doing it when they are grown.
That's a good idea. Your complaints add nothing to the thread.
