Why not go the whole hog and utilise the 9 passenger seat version on a Vosa Licence.

Had a very nice e-mail from the Portsmouth LO.

Dear Alex

Thank you for bringing this to my attention in respect of the vehicles being electrically assisted. I agree that this does have implications in respect of the Act and is something that I will be acting on immediately.

As regards your second enquiry, my understanding, when I understood that the vehicles were non-motorised, was that the pedicabs would not be waiting on the street for bookings (as this would quite clearly be plying/standing for hire).


Alex
Good result! sometimes WE can make a difference well done!

Someone else trying it on now in East Anglia.

When will councils start to read the 1976 acts?

If it's got a motor it needs to be taxi/PH or PSV.
