Electric bikes and scooters
The innovation of electric bikes and electric scooters provides a relatively new opportunity to encourage people to switch to low carbon modes of transport, particularly commuting to and from public transport or covering small distances. The swift uptake in electric scooters and electric bikes over the last few years feels out of touch with the modelling put forward in the plan. Revising the model to account for a greater increase in these electric vehicles, especially with the expected regulations for electric scooter rental to be published soon, is recommended.
