I completely disagree with this and urge every council member to sign this petition. My 15 year old son was hit by a motorized scooter/e-bike. The current lack of registration creates an environment where people who have lost their license due to drunk driving are legally allowed to operate a motorized vehicle capable of injuring innocent victims. Due to the lack of oversight and regulation there is no registration, licensing or insurance. The man who struck my son weighed over 200 lbs. He was drunk and had a bottle of liquor on him at the time of the accident. 200lbs at 20 mph = a loss of considerable, seizures, a broken nose, concussion multiple bruises, cuts and scratches and memory deficits. Everyone has a right to the road – anything that uses it that is powered by anything other than a human should be registered and insured. Operators should be required to be licensed.
