As many other countries already do, the UK should embrace the existence of Personal Electric Vehicles (PEVs).

These are small electrically propelled vehicles such as scooters which reach similar speeds to a bicycle with a range of around 20 miles, and unlike bikes are practical enough to be handled like a suitcase when not in use.

With similar regards to electric bikes, legalising PEVs will offer an added green alternative for transportation and allow individuals improved freedom of movement.
