Ironic that #MicromobilityEurope @micromobilityco.bsky.social is happening in #Brussels, @houseoflords.parliament.uk will be debating #ebikes #escooters. Sadly I expect debate by peers will be much less well informed than discussion here by speakers (incl #TfL) on what is actually safe & convenient!

These requirements will raise costs for shared and privately owned micromobility, forcing riders to rely on expensive motorcycle insurance.
