Electric Motorcycles in the UK
Fazer vs e-scooter After my recent post on car ownership, I had a comment on LinkedIn suggesting I should do a comparison of my Yamaha Fazer (600cc petrol motorbike) against an e-scooter.
Upon investigating this topic, I quickly realised a major problem: e-scooters are mostly illegal.
Using a privately owned scooter is only allowed on private property - not on roads, cycle lanes, pavements, etc. Plus, you can’t carry them on public transport, so you can’t ride one to the bus or train. I’m sure people do both of these, but I’m not one to risk six points on my licence and big fines.
