I suppose really just some weekend report reading 🧐

Regarding these E-Scooters if these are used correctly no doubt they are a nice method of travel, but when the Laws are not adhered too then you get chaos. Here in the City of Berlin it can get dangerous as there are so many using the Footpaths but the other problem is the complete disregard for Tidyness as these things are parked all over or even thrown in the Canals here.
We have here now the “Cycle Police” have using E-Bikes some with Blue Lights / Sirens the lot.

Today I was a little shocked to read that there is an E-Scooter being offered on the UK Web that can travel @ 72 mph, now surely this should be illegal. You can just imagine one of these passing a QQ on the Motorway and giving you the finger - Dave 🥴

“Super-powered e-scooters which can travel at up to 72mph are being sold by UK firms despite a warning they do not meet trading standards. The vehicles are being marketed with scant reference to British law banning their use on public roads and pavements. Dr Scooter, which trades online and through shops in London, is selling the 72mph, 7,000 watt Dokma Black Ninja scooter for £2,800.”
