View the feedback we have received on the NTC Consultation RIS - Barriers to the safe use of personal mobility devices paper.

  • Question 2: Is 60kg a suitable maximum weight for a PMD? If not, what is a more suitable weight and what other factors should be considered? Please provide a rationale to support your position.

    Yes

  • Question 3: Should children under the age of 16 years old continue to be permitted to use  a motorised scooter incapable of travelling more than 10km/h on level ground on roads and paths? Or should they be able to use any device that complies with the proposed PMD framework? (see Appendix A). Please provide a rationale to support your position

    Children under the age of 16 years should not ride PMD at any speed

  • Question 6: What do you believe is the most appropriate road infrastructure for PMDs to access: footpaths, separated paths, bicycle paths and/or roads? Please  provide a rationale to support your position

    When i go to Queensland from NSW they have Laws that let you ride on Footpaths, Roads under 50Km with no line markings, Bicycle Paths i Ride an electic Skateboard and like many of our group we would be Happy to Pay Rego And Third Party ins if we Could

  • Question 7: What is an appropriate and safe maximum speed that PMDs should be permitted to travel across the various infrastructure: (a) pedestrian areas,       (b) bicycle areas, and (c) roads? Please provide a rationale to support your position

    (A) 10 Kilometers and slower if Busy (B) 20 Kilometers because Bikes can go Quicker (C) 25 Kilometers

  • Question 8: Do you agree with the overall assessment that Option 3, Speed Approach 1    is the option that best balances mobility and safety? If not, which option and speed approach do you prefer? Please provide a rationale to support your positio

    I think NSW Should Follow Qld Rules, or Let us Register them so we are Accountable for our Actions plus the Government will colect Revenue
