SCOOTERS ON A CAR LICENCE
Power-assisted bicycles are legal on Victorian roads without requirements for any licence, registration or insurance. Small automatic scooters have to be registered and insured and they have better tyres and brakes than bicycles. They also have lights and horns. Riders of small scooters have to be licenced and wear a proper helmet so they are by definition, safer than power-assisted bicycle riders.
Hollie Black is a strong advocate for scooters on a car licence in Victoria. She made a submission on the subject to the Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry into Motorcycle Safety in 2010. In July 2010 Hollie presented the following paper as input to the Motorcycle Tourism Strategy Plan being developed by Tourism Victoria.
