Government extends e-scooter trials to May 2024
The government has extended a trial of electric scooters for another 18 months.
The Department for Transport will continue gathering data on the technology in districts of Basildon, Braintree, Brentwood, Chelmsford and Colchester in Essex.The technology has been championed as a zero-carbon means of travelling, however, their use has also been criticised by blind and partially-sighted advocacy groups.
“The e-scooter trials are helping us to better understand the benefits of properly regulated, safety-tested e-scooters and their impact on public space," said a DfT spokesman.
