They're a damn menace. Most bikes are ridden on the pavement round here. I don't know if it's because electric scooters are cheaper than electric bikes, or if it's because new electric bikes can now only be 'electric assist', but it seems pavement cyclists are turning to electric scooters.
AIUI, because they don't carry approval certification, then they can't registered, taxed or insured and therefore certainly can't be used in public spaces.
Saw one on the pavement in the town centre yesterday. The BIB it went past completely ignored it. I'll have to email police HQ and ask if they've abandoned policing pavement cyclists and electric scooter.
