best electric bicycle uk image
Q. I am 14 and was wondering if I am able to take scooter lessons to get my licence when I'm 16? Simple answer with good information will be best answer :-) thank you.
Answer
At 14 you can legally ride a 200W electic scooter ( with pedals) or an electric bike on the road, you do not need a license or mot or insurance ( though advisable) they do not need DVLA reg and you can legally ride them on cycle routes
Top speed is limited to 12 mph. But this is faster than the cars driving through central london

it has to be the 200W to be legal for a 14 year old in UK

Why did the government ban segways in canada on public property?
mman
I have always dreamed of having a segway but then I found out that you can't operate them on public property.
If they are dangerous why do they allow seniors to driver rascal scooters?
Answer
For the same reasons that they cannot be used in public in the UK: they are motorised vehicles, but do not count as pavement-legal invalid scooters so cannot be used on pavements (US = sidewalks) and for road use they don't comply with the construction and use regulations so cannot be registered and insured (and taxed!) as road vehicles. They're also too heavy and cannot be propelled by the operator alone (such as by pedalling) to be classed as electric bicycles which are otherwise exempt from almost all contruction and use regulations.
The UK and Canada are not alone in the fact that Segways are effectively banned simply because they do not fall within any legislation which permits their use.
If they were more widely owned then there would likely be political pressure to get the laws changed, but for as long as they cost the same as a basic electric micro-car, tend to have a much shorter lifespan, appear to be horribly unreliable and very expensive to fix they will remain as a toy for rich people with their own places to use them.
