Consultation description
We are seeking views on changing the rules for using powered mobility devices, including powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters, on public roads and pavements.
This includes:
updating the words we use in law to describe powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters and who can use them
where these devices can be used – on roads, pavements or elsewhere
changing the rules around size, speed and age for using larger devices
whether people should be allowed to carry a passenger
whether other types of devices should be allowed on public roads or pavements when used by disabled people or a person with reduced mobility
