Agree

Yes, the current ban is unenforceable and unfairly punishes commuters using affordable micro-mobility

Disagree

No, their unregulated lithium-ion batteries are massive fire hazards that endanger public safety

Labour has expressed concern over battery fires and called for better product standards, but they view this as a regulatory challenge for consumer safety rather than a reason to ban the vehicles from roads.

Strongly disagree

No, they are a dangerous public nuisance that clutters pavements and severely injures pedestrians

While Labour is sensitive to pedestrian safety, they view these issues as problems to be solved through regulation rather than as reasons to maintain a total ban.
