Consultation launched on e-bikes and e-scooters

Sat, 30 Jan 2021

A consultation has been launched to seek views on electric bicycles and e-scooters.

Minister for Infrastructure Tim Baker MHK commented: ‘With the emergence of higher powered versions of e-bikes and e-scooters it makes perfect sense to take the opportunity to bring forward a clear policy to support and encourage the uptake of this low emission way of travelling.

‘Applying the same rules to different classes of bicycle or scooter is no longer practical when you take into consideration the increased speeds of these newer machines.’

The consultation document is available to downloaded electronically via the consultation hub consult.gov.im and written submissions are welcome by email: doiconsultation@gov.im

The consultation process will run for six weeks and conclude on Friday 12 March 2021.
