@chrism, that is what the notice in the original post shows: 'TfL premises or services'.

I suppose once the scooters are properly developed, you won't need to use the Tube.

The battery/fire argument is an important one, but the other problem is that those who bring these contraptions onto the Tube in the rush hour seem to delight in swinging them around to whack as many people in the shins as possible. For this reason alone they should be banned from using any form of public transport forever. People once said similar things about wheelchairs, now trains are built to accommodate them. You can't equate the two. Wheelchair users may have no option, I suspect that's not the case for e-scooter users. |

There are already complaints from disabled e-scooter users, who believe the police ought not to be stopping them.

The fundamental difference between scooters and wheelchairs, apart from the latter generally having the far sturdier lead-acid batteries, is that scooters so easily get bashed around. However the cells in their "dry" batteries, especially lithium have ultra-thin separators between the electrodes (to maintain performance), and are very easy to short out >> FIRE!
