Legislation

The London Assembly has today called on the Mayor to lobby for third-party certification of batteries in e-bikes and e-scooters in response to the increasing number of fires caused by poor-quality batteries which are often fitted to vehicles inappropriately. 

Shortly after the new government took office, we reported that shared transport charity Collaborative Mobility UK (CoMoUK) had co-ordinated a coalition of interested parties to write to the new Transport Secretary Louise Haigh, calling for the legalisation of e-scooters in the UK.
