DOubt it. Because you have to decide whether you licence children and if so how much for. Then you have to charge enough to cover the admin costs. Which is quite a lot. THen you have to work out how you are going to enforce it. Dunno why people think this "licence" thing is going to solve any problems. It isn't as if it has before. Zebee

Yes yes... you are going to call them 'electric assist bicycles' which is silly I reckon. A moped means pedals. What you're talking about (and some silly government nongs misused the word for) are low powered scooters. [1] G-S [1] And yes I approve of car drivers being able to drive speed restricted low power scooters.

Bicycles are not a problem on suburban streets. |
