Petition is addressed to: European Parliament

The aim of this petition is to lay out a safe framework for e-scooters on our roads. with this in mind, EU should require countries to abide by an umbrella policy the regulates them properly. below is what I would consider safe and fair regulations. (I own a Taverun Blade X - Minimotors Variant capable of 75kmh, 4Kw across 2 motors, and 48kgs)
Ligher scooters like Xiaomai and Pure (800W< /25kmh< /35kg< ) - Classified as "Light"

• Require helmets with a visor, high-visibility vest
• Maintenance checks and tests every year for brakes, motors and batteries.
• use cycle path (7kmh on a footpath if necessary to mount)

Heavier scooters like Minimotors, Taverun, Kaabo etc. (1,500W< /50kmh< /40kg< ) - Classified as "Heavy"

• Deck-lighting, optional stem lights, tail lights & headlamp and horn
• indicators (on the back at least)
• Insurance, license and Registration (no-sale under 18)
• full face helmet, knee-pads, elbow-pads and High-Visibility Vest
• Maintenance checks and tests every year for brakes, motors and batteries.
• use Roadway and enter normal traffic, use cycle-path if necessary (restrict to 25kmh) and footpath at 7kmh to traverse some intersections. (no motorways)

Super-Heavy like Nami, Dualtron Victor, Taverun/Minimotors Blade X (5Kw< /100kmh< /80kg<) - Classified as "Super-Heavy"

• Deck Lighting, road lighting, tail light, headlamp, indicators (front and back).
• front and rear braking + electric braking/regenerative braking.
• horn (above 75Db) keyed ignition, power control.
• Full Face Helmet (motorway/highway/autobhan grade), full body protection (armored or leather as a motorbike)
• Insurance (full coverage), Tax, License, Registration, no-sale under 18, safety testing every 6 months.
• use roadway, enter traffic and abide by all road laws. No cycle path (except in an emergency) and footpath at 7kmh to traverse intersections only or to make a roadside repair. (No motorways)

Hyper-Scooters (>/=5Kw /~100kmh - 200kmh / ~20kg - 150kg) - Classified as "Sports/Hyper-Scooter"

• Not obliged to any law, but may only be used to race, on a designated racing circuit only.
• Not permissible for on-road or off-road public driving. (Like a Formula-1 car, etc).

Other

• License and registration must be carried on your person at all times.
• Specialized plates to fit a scooter should be developed and standardized across the EU which should be small enough that they do not completely ruin the appearance of the scooter, damage stability or create a hazard, and large enough for existing surveillance to read them and be mounted on the back of the scooter.
• If there is no license or registration, then the scooter must be seized by police and impounded indoors.
• All scooters must be manufactured under appropriate safety standards to protect the battery, must have overcharge protection, over-current protection and must have a balancing/ballasting circuit built into the battery and/or controller.
• Must come with original charger
• must be bought with an appropriate helmet and high-visibility vest (unless customer can prove they have one) and knee-pads must be sold with the scooter if it is more than Light.
• may only be purchased with ID showing a person intending to purchase is 18+
• Public must be made aware through the use of advertisement campaigns about these rules and regulations
• Public should be made aware of safe distances and urged to not overtake a scooter that is keeping pace with the rest of traffic as scooters need more space to come to a complete stop than a car or bike.
