Mr. Drew Harris:

The manner in which some of the electric bikes and scooters have been adapted means they are well capable of speeds up to 50 km/h, which is excessive. Regrettably, there have been fatal collisions involving those on electrically propelled vehicles. The momentum they build up coupled with the amount of street furniture, in particular on footpaths with signage and lampposts, make it a risky environment. We welcome this legislation. We understand there will obviously be a settling-in period with an education programme. We will engage in that before it switches to more of a focus on enforcement.
