Ms Jean Andrews:

I agree on the 25 km/h maximum speed. We operate in Nottingham, as I mentioned, which has the same maximum speed. The scooters observe an 8 km/h per hour speed in go-slow areas that are busy with pedestrians. That works very well. That is common across European jurisdictions. If the scooter is in traffic with cars, the scooter should be able to keep up with traffic. To go any slower, or not to have the capability for that maximum speed in traffic is dangerous.

On the wattage, I would agree with previous contributions. I think the 250 W is too low for the scooters that we have today. In order to be able to get up hills and to have the degree of pick-up that is needed for a safe ascension of a hill, in excess of 500 W and up to 1,000 W-----
