Sut mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn bwriadu mynd i'r afael â phryderon ynghylch cyflymder gormodol sgwteri trydan mewn mannau cyhoeddus, a pha fesurau sy'n cael eu hystyried i sicrhau defnydd cyfrifol a diogel ohonynt?
It is currently illegal to use an e-scooter on a UK public road, cycle lane or pavement, except where it is used as part of a UK Government’s Department for Transport (DfT) sponsored trial scheme. No trials are currently operating or planned in Wales. However, we are liaising with DfT officials in respect of proposals to permit and regulate the use of e-scooters and are awaiting the initial feedback from the trials.
The majority of powers to regulate the use of e-scooters are vested in the Secretary of State (SoS), rather than the Welsh Ministers, and the regulation of the construction and use of e-scooters in Wales is currently a reserved matter. I have previously written to the SoS to raise the issues of safety as one of the Welsh Government’s main concerns in considering the potential introduction of e-scooters in Wales.
