The trend of this discussion suggests that only children ride electric scooters and e bikes.
Our experience is that it is that group who are so keen to ban children (the OAP’s) who are the biggest users and pests riding them to office, shop (if there is one), toilet block, usually along walkways as these are the quickest routes and visiting friends round the site.
While we are at it why not ban car parking outside toilet blocks where members are too lazy to walk from their outfit.? We should be thankful that parents are bringing their children to Club sites - they are the future.

Toby, why do you think OAPs want to ban children? Only one poster has suggested that and he wrote in jest (I hope). I think you’re on the wrong track there as we seem to be in favour of preventing children having accidents and harming themselves and others.
As you will have seen if you’ve read the whole thread, the ban on the likes of motorised scooters applies to all age groups and not just youngsters.
Rule 13 if anyone wants to check it out.

having read all the threads it appears that the overwhelming respondents are pensioners who assume children are the biggest users of scooters. From our observations this is not true. Many respondants have, in other posts, admitted that they generally use CL’s so are probably not writing about actual experiences, but from hearsay.
Banning anything sends the wrong signals about inclusivity - the club should work with scooter owners and devise save ways for their use, by everyone.

Not so, Toby. It’s been made clear the ban applies to all ages but what people want to assume can’t be helped.
Just how of you think the club can work with scooter owners of any and all ages? Should they employ extra site staff to supervise and instruct them and thus push site fees even higher? With respect, your suggestion is not realistic and I fear you need to understand the legal liability of allowing these scooters on site.
