    And in case I've give the wrong Impression, I absolutely love the idea of these. If implemented properly, with sensible laws, it will be a brilliant form of transport and I wouldn't hesitate to buy one.

    But, for the love of everything, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE wear a helmet on this or any bike etc. My partner works for the NHS and the number of fatal or near fatal head injuries she has to deal with from people not wearing helmets is shocking!
    CynicalNurse's avatar
    I work in A&E. Helmets are mostly an illusion. They only protect you if they crush/compress to reduce the force on your head.

    This practically never happens. So many photos of people with a helmet cracked in two saying it saved their Life... no it didn't. It only saves your life if it compresses. Cracking open means it had done sod all.

    By all means advocate helmets but tested to a safe standard like motorbike helmets. At the moment they are useless because the test requirements are so basic.

    Wonder if Tubeless Tires work well?
  6. hukd_08's avatar
    Bought one at the start of the pandemic when they cut the tube service in half so they were just as busy as before. Have done over 4000 miles on it so far and as long as you ride it on the road/ bike or bus lanes and don’t cut through red lights or pedestrian greens then the police won’t stop you. Like any mode of transport, people will be idiots but it’s not the fault of the scooter itself. They help reduce traffic and the insanely busy tube. If they said I needed a licence plate and insurance I would happily pay.

    This is good spec for the price but if you’re willing to spend a bit more I much prefer the brand E-Twow - 700w motor, solid wheels but with suspension so no punctures but just as smooth a ride. Personal Electric Transport have a store in Leyton so you can go and try it out and they’ve been great in terms of repairs and checkups.

    What's your definition of 'a bit more' because the cheapest one I'm seeing is almost double the price of this? Don't suppose you have a link to the one you're referencing as I'm interested?

    I watched on television about all the accidents with e scooters but until there are proper regs in place and the type of people using them at present and risking there driving license. I think it's going to attract a lot of idiots which helps with the accident rate. I think there is a place for these and the government should get there finger out. I do think people should be insured though. But speed restricted is stupid. Cars are not, it's up to the rider driver to be responsible. Ebikes should not be restricted either speed wise! There are places that even 30 mph is acceptable. I think when there legal a lot will get sold! .

    Just be sensible when riding it. Cycle path is where this belongs.

    I have bought a second hand iScooter i9pro for £130, everything works as new, battery seems okay. For £100 odd squids, if it get confiscated then so be it. But I always get off or slow down to jogging speed when near people, I only ride it at speed on dedicated cycle paths. I try to tuck behind cyclists so won’t startle pedestrians.

    Last year I got run over by one of these electric scooter being ridden at between 15–20 mph in a pedestrianised zone, as I departed my local Boots store.

    I was subsequently flung in the direction of propagation of the motorised electric vehicle (yes, to me it's a vehicle, an EV, just like a Tesla), and I rolled over my back twice, with one of my shopping bag handles getting caught in the wheels, and my shopping contents being strewn in the vicinity of the accident.

    Thank the Lord, no harm came to me, other than being shocked by the incident. My shopping was also unharmed.

    The chap riding the e-scooter had no remorse whatsoever for his actions, as he grabbed my bags that clogged his wheels and threw it, and he tutted me as he rode off.

    A few passers-by aided me and collected together my shopping, to whom I shall be always be grateful for their help, as I was momentarily shaken by this unforseen incident.

    E-scooter seized after rider caught on public road with no insurance or licence - Abigail Beaney 7 June 2022·1-min read

    Southend police stop dozens of drivers and seize e-scooters - 18th May

    Police in Northern Ireland to "increase their response" to illegal e-scooter use in public - 28th May

    More than 3,600 e-scooters were seized by police in London last year - 27th May

    150 e-scooters were seized by Greater Manchester Police in the last 12 months

    If you think it won't be you.....you could be wrong.

    Poor Jumbo.... uk.yahoo.com/new…tml

    nationalworld.com/lif…962

    Any regulations on the new class of vehicle are expected to set strict safety conditions on electric scooters, including maximum speeds, lighting requirements and possibly mandating the wearing of helmets for users.

    Transport Minister Grant Shapps previously told MPs that he wanted to “crack down on the private market and make it illegal to sell e-scooters which don’t meet the regulatory standards”. He indicated that once such standards were established, rules could be changed to allow use of private scooters on public land.

    Get one once the legal spec has been confirmed or risk having your illegal spec one confiscated.

    I hear PURE are the ones in close talks with the government already about minimum legal requirements and government are in turn listening to PURE

    PURE e-scooters already have
    Front and rear lights
    Speed limit 15.5mph
    10" Wheels
    2 breaks
    Offer maintenance/inspection packages
    Hard to "hack" for speed increase, not impossible but also not as easy as a simple USB file drag/drop

    Not this one. There will be specs for the legal ones that this will not meet, just as there are ebikes that don't comply with the legal conditions.

    Got the pro last week. It's a life changer for my work and gym commute.

    There's plenty of scooters in my city and not to jinx it but the police are fine provided you're not riding like a jerk in which case you should be stopped regardless if it's a scooter, bike or car

    Same, kids on my estate are rouge and dart around sometimes 2-3 on one scooter. However no different to when we were kids, we would have no breaks on BMX and have up to 4 people on one.

    Adults, going slow, and or wearing helmet police dont bat an eye, why would they want the hassle and paper work, its only when people in the public cry about it that the police will do a campaign for a week, police are under funded as it is. I had a friend who's garage was broken in to, didnt even get a police officer out, case closed after 12hrs with crime ref etc just for insurnace

    I agree these things need to be legalised - and probably harmonised with ebike legislation eg possibly restricted to 15.5mph (and give ebikes their throttles back). Possibly suggest they travel on the road/cycle paths too rather than pavements unless travelling at 6mph? (edited)
    Monkeyface's avatar
    My opinion is that all bikes, ebikes and scooters should be allowed on ALL pavements but must be fitted with a speedo and limiter and not allowed to go faster than 6mph. If you want to go faster you have to go on the road.
    That would make it possible to get around the local area quickly, cleanly and safely without needing to use a car or risk your life on busy roads, but also minimize the risk to pedestrians.

    How about we just turn comments off on any future scooter deals. Must be less than 1% of the comments on this thread are about the actual specifics of the model/deal/offer. I used to get the popcorn out but most comments are just regurgitation, every damn scooter deal, it is just the same
  27. 666bandit999's avatar
    ‘……..direction of propagation……? What?
    deleted2814137's avatar
    Yes, it means the direction of travel of the e-scooter.

    I'm a physicist, and "the direction of propagation" is used to describe the motion of bodies, sound waves, and photons (light).

    Such verbiage is therefore engrained within me, and it is therefore reflected in my comments.
  28. Poppin's avatar
    Only people from the hoods will drive this out on public roads. I think it’s okay because they can get away from the Police. For us normies, we would be fined and the e-scooter would be taken away.

  29. Monkeyface's avatar
    The government have hinted at legalizing these later in the year - but when they do there will no doubt be rules about motor size, speed limits etc. like e-bikes so the existing ones will be illegal. Best to wait and buy a legal spec one next year.
    Rob_Samsung's avatar
    Speed limits. Let's have the scooter capable of 40mph but have signs up for speed restrictions so it's the onus of the rider to obey them, like vehicles. Seems to work.

    I agree street robbery will go up, when these go mainstream.

    I would love one to travel to work, but it would be better if more money was put into cycle lanes.

    User of these and all pedal bicycles should have insurance, by law.

    I wonder why in most other European cities these are available to rent for a couple of euros and they are a fun and safe way for tourists and locals to get around, but in the UK we are bogged down with rules and restrictions? Are Brits not trusted to ride responsibly? If so, speed limiters and driving licences are the least of our worries!

    These in principle are a great idea for urban transportation, take up little room and are pennies to run, the environment impact is still slightly grey considering where lithium comes from, but then again look where oil comes from, so maybe it's the lesser of two evils.
    But until they become as legal as an ebike no matter what price they are it's not worth your license.
    The government has to get into gear and get the rules in place, so we can enjoy these great deals without the worry of the blue light!
  40. nocturnal74's avatar
    I read in the local paper here in Belfast that the police are starting a campaign to crack down on these as they are classed as motor vehicles needing insurance, number plate etc.

    It's OK if there was modern infrastructure to properly accommodate e-scooters like in Chinese cities where there are designated lanes especially for them but this place here is the new 3rd world, no proper cycle lanes to speak of, just a white line on the side of the road full of parked cars.

    We don't even have a government here because democracy is a modern idea also
