Is it permitted to carry a passenger on a personal mobility vehicle (PMV)?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is No. By legal definition under the General Vehicle Regulations, a Personal Mobility Vehicle (PMV) is a vehicle with one or more wheels equipped with a single seat and powered exclusively by electric motors. This implies that: Single-person use: They are designed exclusively for use by one person. Carrying passengers compromises stability and braking capacity. No exceptions: It does not matter if the passenger is an adult or if the vehicle looks large; carrying more than one person is a violation of the rules. Homologation: If a similar vehicle were approved for two people, it would legally cease to be a PMV and would likely be categorized as a moped (L1e), requiring a license plate, insurance, and a driving license.
