but they can't, at least not under the same rules as for driving, the legislation refers specifically to "motor vehicles".
I'm pretty sure they could find "something" to charge you with though, if you are being an idiot.
which i guess then opens the question to electric bikes and e-scooters since they have motors of a sort
I hope they are still there in January.
i'm no gynaecologist either - but I might as well have been today. Around the University area a number of young women in shorts and T shirts using the scooters....Didn't help the blood pressure.
However, the results of an off with minimal clothing can be guessed at quite easily. Lots and lots of skin off....
And no, I didn't go all DOM, I looked, appreciated and looked away....
Noddy, I suspect if they're still here in january, Tina's gonna put you in blinkers.
As with all vehicles, it's a question of how they are used.
My wife owns her own lekky scooter, uses it as a last mile solution for her work at Chch hospital. She free parks about 2.5 km away, and scoots to work through Hagley Park. She then works all day with people who are always bitching about no parking at the hospital, and the parking tickets they keep getting.
She has good quality shared paths to ride on, and uses her bell to interact with pedestrians. Basically, she doesn't ride like a dick.
I've ridden the CEOs lekky scooter around Rangiora a few times, and the smaller wheels aren't an issue. The back wheel is solid, the front wheel pneumatic, with basic suspension. I expect this is to deal with stones and minor bumps which might stop a solid front wheel.
It's no different to trucks, cars, buses etc. It's not the vehicle, it's how they are operated. Each vehicle has specific risks, most of which can be managed.
These escooters can run solely on their motor, as do some ebikes, surely this makes them a MOTOR vehicle?
