The United Kingdom can proudly claim to be the world’s greatest transport innovator. After all, railway, urban metro, and passenger jet were founded in the UK. People in the UK have also adopted such advanced means of transportation way before than other countries.

However, when it comes to adopting the tiny e-scooters, the UK is far behind than the other countries. E-scooter which is considered as the future of mobility has revolutionized the global transportation industry. It has solved many crucial problems related to urban transportation like last-mile connectivity.

Though the e-scooter is very purposeful, the UK government has denied the permit many times in the past over the concern of rider safety. But now when the operators promote and ensure rider safety more aggressively than ever before and now when an e-scooter is one of the best ways to deal with climate change issues, the government of the UK is finally legalizing the use of e-scooters on the public road.

According to the news published on The Guardian and official website of the UK government, e-scooter will be allowed for the first time on the public roads of the UK, under the Department of Transport proposal.

The legalization of the e-scooter is one proposal out of many remarkable proposals of an extensive plan. In addition to legalizing the e-scooter, the extensive plan includes projects to trial medical deliveries to the Isle of Wight using autonomous drones, and a test of self-driving cars between Bristol and Bath.

However, it is worth mentioning that the use of e-scooter will initially only be allowed in four areas which they call ‘future transport zones’. These ‘future transport zones’ are Portsmouth and Southampton; the West of England Combined Authority (WECA); Derby and Nottingham; and the West Midlands.

Many industry experts including our business experts believe that the most unexpected step of the UK government will fuel the micro-mobility industry of Britain and results will start popping up during the upcoming summer. An entrepreneur who wishes to jump into the micro-mobility industry of the UK as the early bird should start planning now as our business experts anticipate that UK authorities will give permits to local micro-mobility startups rather than USA-based micro-mobility startups like many other European countries.
