E-scooters legal soon?

What's wrong with walking? Apart from it making you not fat, of course

I think they make a lot of sense for city commuters who can't claim their train fare. If I commuted on a daily basis the 2.5 mile trip from station to office without tube would save about £1,200 a year. A decent e-scooter is about £500 and would do that journey in about 15 mins.

A lot less hassle than a folding bike.

Even better to have them as hireable Boris bikes.

Wtf?? This is the 21st century, ill do lots of (fast) walking when i'm escaping the old peoples home. Until then i run scoot cycle or drive everywhere never walk i aint got time, apart from Sunday walks with the fam ok. Even if i couldn't walk i reckon i'd be in a spaz chariot with 1000watts to each wheel, hell a Tesla S running gear under the hood.

And no to fat people

Absolutely agree they are fab, i have a modified Etwow(added an extra powered wheel and EMC to push my mass up hills) and a xiaomi m365 they are brilliant. Anytime i commute they come with me, i do ride in consideration but i feel they should be for 18+ users kids on them will just be idiots.

Problem is today - if you ride them on the road and they want to throw the book at you, you are looking at a lot of points on your license.
