Privately owned e-scooters remain illegal on roads.

I don’t understand why they have chosen this route. Are they expecting to reverse this decision at some point?

However the execution will be tricky. So far electric bike hire doesn’t appear to have succeeded that well in London (Hackney at least).

Very much hoping this works better!
