The petitioner is going against what the Deputy is saying. In summary, the petitioner believes it is safer for electric scooters to be heavier with shorter stopping distances. He argues that it is safer if they are more powerful, as it reduces the chances of the scooter getting stuck on a pothole, have wider wheels to avoid tram tracks and are faster to avoid getting hit by a car when a cycle lane merges with a road. He believes the rules of driving and owning a car should apply to scooters. Should we ask the petitioner to come before the committee?
