Motorised/ Ride-on Leisure Equipment

I have no idea, as I didn't enquire of the staff if visitors were permitted to use them, but perhaps it would be rather hypocritical if members were stopped and staff allowed. I just took it that the question was where were sites where there were in use, hence my response.

 I understand the c&cc escort people to a pitch, some via a bicycle and now some vie an e scooter. On our sites to keep things even we (staff) are not allowed to use e scooter things the same as anyone else. But then we don't do the escorting thing as we all know.

Just for information, our site ride on machinery are governed to 8mph. Still get people trying to overtake in their cars around site. I enjoy the conversations with those drivers

so you're saying that the land owner can say that one group can use them but another can't. And my comment was re the other club's staff using one

It's all about the law regarding what is classed as an ebikes, they are classed as pedal assist so not 'motorised' under the law.

And yes same for me.

Yes. In my view the owner or those running the business can set what rules they like and to who they apply too. Why not? Club wardens can exceed 5 mph.

But it's irrelevant, follow the set rules that are set, which are often different for staff and customers.

But this thread is about what those staying on sites as 'customers' and are the rules correct. Yes they are.

Does  that mean that wardens are better drivers than the rest of us being that they are allowed to go over 5mph. Plus who told you that  they can exceed the 5mph limit.
