    Not sure if that’s even possible here.

    It feels like every Uber Eats delivery person is on one of these things.

    They are everywhere.

    I imagine we could grandfather in existing vehicles somehow, maybe by distributing stickers for existing owners. I dunno.

    But it would kill the gig economy here, I feel like the electric motorcycle problem might be here to stay.

      Or announce the law before it comes into effect, you have a certain amount of time to make your bike compliant, replace it or stop using it. Assuming you don’t already have laws for it. UK already does and just doesn’t really enforce them much.

      I don’t think so. Sure first step is regularizing sales and not going after existing owners, and the ones already on the streets are a long term problem, but these things will eventually break down, they don’t last generations.
