The UK needs to hurry up and decriminalise e-scooters, so they can start to regulate them and actually improve safety.

The problem is people buying cheap devices that skirt or fake existing battery quality regulations. There would surely be a higher number of people making that kind of purchase if they were to be allowed on UK public roads.

I can’t see how anyone would be made safer by decriminalising scooters - either charging them at home or out on the roads.
