The ktec website is so s**t that you have to choose what car you drive everytime you want to look at a product

Agreed their old website was much better.

I’d love an e-scooter but the potential of getting 6 points and having it seized have put me right off.

What's the cake fine if you're pulled over by a colleague for riding a scooter?

6 points ? On your e-scooter license ?

What if you don't have a driving license ? Do they call your parents ?

Don't really get the hatred for these things.. I can do 20mph on my bike on the flat with no e-ssistance but that's ok ?

I'm not riding on paths, I don't need a license. No one loses their mind when a bike pedals past. Why are these seen as such demonic things that must be banned ?!

To be fair. I lose my mind when I see cyclists do stupid stuff. And I think I’d rather get hit by an escooter than a bike doing 15mph!

No, 6 points on your actual real driving license. If you don’t have one they’ll create a driver record for you and endorse it with 6 points (and seize the scooter). Then there’s the matter of a rather large fine

They are mechanically propelled vehicles and therefore under current laws they need insurance to use on a road (a road is defined as including the pavement btw). And before you start going on about e-bikes, they are covered by their own legislation.

Just because Rob off Cliosport says it’s ok
unfortunately doesn’t change the law 😉

And being a police officer I can’t really take the chance of possibly getting stopped by Essex police and copping 6 points.

TheEvilGiraffe · Jul 16, 2020

Totally get why you won't take the risk..

Seems mad that I can go faster with two legs and no issues on my bike on the road !

Your bike isn’t a mechanically propelled vehicle.

Can you get a DUI on one?

Only if you’re in America.

You can get done for drink/drug drive on one here as well 😉

Theyve got to catch you first

Saw one online claiming to do 100 kph. Must feel ballistic

dann2707 · Jul 19, 2020

Saw two kids on one on a roundabout earlier on. They must have been 14 or 15. There's going to be a fair few tragedies with these I can feel it

Not a Diesel!!! · Jul 19, 2020

I use an old fashioned seal propelled micro scooter with my daughter.

When you hit a tiny stone probably 1 cm in size it is likd going over handle bars on bike.

I have done it a couple of times and landed on my feet but usually jerk my back as I deceleratd so quickly.

And that's probably doing 8 mph.

Adamm. · Jul 19, 2020

I'm yet to see a fully grown adult riding one of these yet I've got to be honest. Seen kids about 15 riding about on them and they are surprisingly quick.

Daz... · Jul 19, 2020

I used to see a woman riding one of these to work and back everyday, absolutely flying up the hills on the way home.

PMac · Oct 3, 2021

Any new updates on these? If I get a job closer to home I quite fancy one.

I think the update is that most road users now f**king hate the c***s riding them.

I saw some youth on one few weeks back go over someone's bonnet (he pulled out into traffic without even looking), ran back to his scooter and scooted off before the driver even had a chance to get out their car.

Also saw a dad launch some skid off one down our high street, the scooter mongo was weaving through people and nearly clipped his child, said dad just booted the c**t off the scooter, about 5 passers by gave the 'good job' nod.

Just get an ebike. They seem to be far more socially acceptable at the min.

PMac · Oct 3, 2021

I’d imagine in cities they could be causing havoc with the amount of pure toads out there. For use in the suburbs though, I picture myself gliding on the grey stuff, stopping off for a slice sausage roll, munching as I travel. Looking cool as fcuk. No?

c4pob · Oct 3, 2021

I think I’ve posted previously. I see them everyday on the cycle to the office when crossing London. Most are restricted to max 15 ish mph, barely anyone using one wears a helmet but some monster ones (they look huge) are easily doing 30mph down the cycle lane.
the hire ones come with indicators (I’ve seen used once), I’ve not seen a private one with indicators, strobing multicoloured under lighting yes, useful indicators no!

You'll be risking the chance of getting done for no tax and insurance if you get one.

Cub. · Oct 4, 2021

Anyone riding one around here looks like a complete bedwetter.

There is one guy who rides one with his 6 year old on to drop her at school. Neither wearing a helmet.

Or at least he did, until the headteacher asked him not to. Oh. The. Shame.

I laughed all the way home.

We have 2. Lob them in the boot of the car and take the car for MOT/Bodyshop etc and nip back in the scooter. Saves taking two cars and is much quicker due to traffic.

brilliant things.

Maybe if you started walking. Your knees may get better?

They're just for fat lazy people surely?

These were on the programme X-Ray last night. Basically the public should not be using them.

I heard he wets the bed yes

Claims to not like VAG, buys his wife a Golf.
Claims to be sensible, buys two Discoveries.
Claims to be an adult, rides an e-scooter.

Bed wetter for sure.

(PS, im not sure he's claimed any of that)

Not like VAG; correct. Absolute crap.
sensible? Negative ghost rider. Act first think later.
adult? Again, negative. Still laugh at farts and my wife says I’m more immature than the children.

bed wetter yes. But an ex wetter. I think I was about 6/7 the last time I had to do the walk of shame in to my parents room.

HTH.

he’s a prick. He did it to a friends girlfriend not that long ago at a house party and she went absolutely mental. 😂😂

Short Norman · Sep 1, 2023

I don’t get this, they’re banning rental e-scooters but privately owned ones are ok??

You’d think it would be the other way round to ensure anyone riding one is insured
