"'These so-called vehicles are being dumped on our streets with zero regulation, zero enforcement and zero regard for human life'"
"Exclusive figures show seizures of e-scooters have so far this year increased 218pc on last year's total Irish Independent investigation discovers shops openly selling dangerous e-scooters that can reach 80kmh for use on public roads"
"Several sales reps we contacted recommended models for commuting with top speeds of 80kmh - when the legal top speed of an e-scooter on our roads is 20kmh."
Shops are openly selling e-scooters capable of reaching 80km/h for use on public roads. Several sales representatives recommend high-speed models for commuting. The legal top speed for e-scooters on roads is 20km/h. Seizures of e-scooters have increased 218% compared with last year. Many of these vehicles lack regulation and enforcement, posing significant risks to pedestrians and riders. The availability of unregulated, high-speed e-scooters encourages unsafe use on streets and highlights gaps in oversight, enforcement, and consumer protection that contribute to public safety hazards.
