Originally gaining recognition for their success in the likes of San Francisco, Barcelona, and Paris, electric scooters have become a common sight in the UK, especially in major cities such as London.
Whilst they can be purchased from a wide variety of online retailers, they are also more frequently becoming available in cycle stores across the UK who have been quick to jump on the fast-growing market.

The Benefits of E-Scooters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of e-scooters are plentiful. With the vast majority of people trying to go green, e-scooters are the perfect answer to leaving a low carbon footprint. Encouraging the commuter to opt for these over driving would massively decrease congestion in busy areas resulting in cleaner air and less pollution.
In addition to their eco advantages, they\u2019re also incredibly practical. Most e-scooters on the market are lightweight, foldable, and can go over 15km on a single charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current UK Law<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whilst perfectly legal to both own and sell, e-scooters are currently only legal to ride on private land with the land owner\u2019s permission in the UK. Right now the government is facing more pressure than ever by the media and UK public to re-structure the laws around e-scooters and how they are used in the UK, taking after countries such as Germany \u2013 one of the most recent adopters of e-scooters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opportunity for Growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We believe electric scooters will be made legal this year for a number of reasons including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Their ease of use<\/li>
  • Pressure from the public and Media<\/li>
  • Ecological benefits<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    With their legality looking imminent, the opportunities surrounding E-scooters look vast. Once legal, we believe more consumers will be looking for premium and unique designs due to the wider demographic this market now targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We expect large cities such as London, where the commute can be difficult, to come with the largest potential for growth in the E-scooter market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
