This rule already applies to e-scooters and most e-bikes.

Background
We call on the UK Government to require all EAPCs used on public roads to be registered and insured. We believe this would improve accountability, help police identify offenders, protect victims through insurance, and help reduce dangerous and antisocial use, making roads and communities safer for everyone.
