Written question asked by Richard Holden (Conservative) on Thursday, 16 October 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 20 October 2025. It was answered by Simon Lightwood (Labour) on Friday, 24 October 2025 on behalf of the Department for Transport.
Mobility Scooters: Pedestrian Areas
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the review of powered mobility devices will consider (a) restricting and (b) prohibiting the use of mobility scooters on pavements.
- Answer
-
Mobility scooters and powered wheelchairs are already legally restricted to 4 miles per hour on pavements. As part of the powered mobility device review, we intend to consult publicly to ensure everyone has the opportunity to give their views and make sure the regulations are designed with, and not for, disabled people. The safety of all users who rely on a powered mobility device, pedestrians and other road users will be a key consideration in the review.
