Are PLEV's different to mobility scooters?

It says PLEV's are currently banned from riding on the pavement or the road, but i've seen people on mobility scooters bombing around on both the pavement and the roads.

There are 3 classes of Mobilty scooters/chairs. All 3 classes should be limited to 4mph whilst on the pavement, most have a limiter switch if they are capable of more. Only Class 3 are allowed to use the road & require DVSA registration and tax (free)

I searched the term and found these. Is this what we're talking about?

 

[cainer]

I say Ban!

Petition for a worldwide ban on Scooter’s music?

I’m in.

No thanks, enough idiots about, without making then more mobile.

The act does need modernising, electric bikes should be legal to 25mph 750W for adults, the limits that are put on them are absurd and as such no one pays attention to them.

 

[FortuitousFluke]

Get a bike you daft hipster.

If you change the highways act to classify them as a vehicle, then they'll need tax, insurance, registration, etc?

Are horses classed as a vehicle? Because they weigh up to 1 ton and can travel 40mph, and don't require any of the above.

Oddly enough horses are classed as animals, and predate the invention of the car, or even bike

Most owners will have them insured, if just because vets bills tend to be high.

Think you'll find that it is ****wits on 4 wheels clogging up the roads

I think you'll find that on any clogged up road full of 4 wheel drivers you will find a cycle at the front of it - obviously

I had a 1000 watt and lasted about a month before I went back to 250, it scared the hell out of me.
Funny thing is I'd hit 30 mph a lot of the time on my road bike but on an MTB/Hybrid it didn't feel right.

Leave hover boards to Back to the Future and Final Fantasy 8

You will find that the motorways are blocked up because all the way up the slips roads onto the A roads is where the cycles are.
That one cycle 2 miles away from a motorway junction is the cause - It's a vicious circle. .

You are confusing public liability insurance and veterinary fees insurance which are two totally different things and are ultimately impertinent to this discussion!

Signed I'd like to use my M365 legally.

Mobility Scooters are driven by a significant proportion of the voting dynamic, beardy hipsters potentially riding PLEV's are not.

Don't worry, in a few years the number of cars on the road will drop due to unaffordability, quite possibly the only benefit that might come of this suicidal Brexit.

 

[Suicidal Ferret]

Dream on. People will give up other things before their car.
