I've ended up buying an electric pedal assist tricycle that I can ride on the pavement.

I don't want to throw a spanner in the works but you can't legally ride that on the pavement.
Pavement use is restricted to 4mph.
This will apply to any electric vehicle be it bike, trike, or disabled buggy.
That's why disabled buggies come in two speed versions....4mph pavement use and 8mph road use.

Hi Papa John,

Thank you for your input re the rules and legalities of my using my electric Powatryke tricycle on the pavements. (See a photo of one like mine above)

Due to my mobility issues I use a mobility scooter most of the time for general getting out and about on but I have also in addition to my mobility scooter, been happily and safely riding around on my Powatryke electric tricycle for the last 3 years. The vast majority of the time I use cycle paths, which fortunately, there are more and more of these appearing all over the country. I do however use the pavement when there are no safe cycle paths to use but I’m a responsible rider and never exceed the legal speed limit for pavement use.

I can set the power level setting on my tricycle to the lowest setting for such occasions and as I’m not exceeding 4 mph, I’ve never encountered any problems with the police or the public whilst riding it responsibly on the pavement.

The 2 eBikeboards however, that we’ve just sold via this section of the forum to Ian and Pam, were a completely different machine to my electric tricycle (above) and of course they can only be used on the road as they are classed as electric mopeds/motorcycles.

I hope this reassures you and others who may be considering buying an electrically powered powatryke / tricycle or similar.

You're one of the good guys then Sue, and as pedestrians I'm sure the public appreciate it.
I see so many cyclists/mobility scooter riders riding on footpath in town and few don't seem to care about pedestrians.
My own stepson is as guilty as the rest and after being stopped twice in one day riding on the footpaths in town got an enforced invite to the police station for a proper rollicking.

And don't get me going about SOME blind/dangerous/ignorant/arrogant/stupid mobility scooter users both on the road and pavement.

Oh dear Papa John.

Sadly, there will always those that push the boundaries and cause problems and issues for those responsible folk that do adhere to the rules and of course their reckless behaviour then creates a bad impression of all of us!! Unfortunately, that’s life and is unlikely to ever change and it’s something we all reluctantly have to live with. It’s frustrating and blood boiling - but it happens in all walks of life and in all manner of different case scenarios! Thankfully, I think that such instances are in the minority and the majority of us go about our lives in a more considerate manner.

All we can do as individuals is act respectively, responsibly and considerately ourselves and hopefully, we can help everyone to see the much bigger picture.

I hope your stepson has learnt his lesson and will now take a leaf out of his stepfathers book!

YOU MIGHT FIND THIS INTERESTING TO READ:

On 1st August 1999, new legislation came into force to allow a fixed penalty notice to be served on anyone who is guilty of cycling on a footway. However the Home Office issued guidance on how the new legislation should be applied, indicating that they should only be used where a cyclist is riding in a manner that may endanger others. The then Home Office Minister Paul Boateng issued a letter stating that:

“The introduction of the fixed penalty is not aimed at responsible cyclists who sometimes feel obliged to use the pavement out of fear of traffic and who show consideration to other pavement users when doing so. Chief police officers, who are responsible for enforcement, acknowledge that many cyclists, particularly children, young people, disabled and the elderly are afraid to cycle on the road, sensitivity and careful use of police discretion is required.”
