Ban E-Bikes and E-Scooters from pavements, footpaths and walkways.

E-bikes can travel at speeds up to 20-28 mph, creating dangerous conditions for pedestrians, especially children, elderly individuals, and those with disabilities. Current rules are inadequate or poorly enforced, leading to confusion and unsafe conditions.

This petition was rejected on 4th Apr 2025 as the proposed action is already occurring
