I truly feel for you on this. But the regulations say "incapable of exceeding a speed of 8 miles per hour". The "issue" is you can switch off the limiter and thus *can* exceed the limit. Obviously we can't be trusted... 🤬 Also why removing the limiter from the controller on a production class 2/3 is not permitted. Another confounding issue is that the Road Traffic Act was updated to include language like 'any publicly accessible place' meaning it can be applied on private land that the public could reasonably get to (irrespective of trespass - a civil offense). I'm from the 4x4 world and this was a major problem, which required 'Authorising Bodies' such as the Motor Sports UK, Assoc Land Rover Clubs, & IOPD to provide Permits for off-road motor events. These Permits allow certain activities to be exempt from the RTAct. So the mobility scooter that could have the 8mph limiter off would break the RTA wherever you use it. The fact that even an unfit cyclist could exceed 8mph doesn't matter. Though the 19th century offense of 'wanton and furiously riding' was recently used against a cyclist who seriously injured a pedestrian.

Joe anyone with any sense can see that you are careful around people. I have a TGA Breeze S4 which I ride lots on roads and also paths. This is a UK scooter that meets all the regulations and I am almost always walking my dog. However I also have the number plate on the back has this gets me less abuse from road users. However when I use this on paths and ex railway line cycle paths I have had people ring the national park complaining. The wardens know that Im allowed and have no problems. The only thing that I can say about Woody Joe that might be a problem is that UK mobility scooters should not exceed 8mph even going down a very steep slope. UK scooters have automatic regenerative breaking that prevents them from exceeding 4 / 8 mph even down a very steep slope. All the best Joe and hope to see more videos soon.

Joe you and wood E are so respectful of others on the trails,I can't believe they are doing this to you we all in the mobility scooter family know wood E is built for tourk for climbing hills the government are trying too control everyone and everything it's happing here in the USA as well if there is anything we can do to help we are here for you and wood E your friend vinnie from the United States of America good luck and we will wait for your next video 👍😎

Hi Joe, greetings from the Netherlands..

That was very interesting.New Zealand is not as cold as the UK but we have our moments but we sre beginning Spring and warmer weather and lot've sunshine

Very interesting Joe. What about footwear? Wellingtons are waterproof but can be cold. Any ideas?

Fantastic

Hi Joe, you certainly live in a beautiful area. Do you know if anyone hires mobility scooters and if there is accommodation in the forest area?, thanks, Irene

Great video

What a fantastic job the bygone train drivers had, to see these views in all weathers .

Pure Joy ! 40 yrs ago, coach from London, I youth hostelled on foot, offroad. I remember Blustone Caves etc and Lakedidtrict Great Gable area. I see a multimotor kit for e-bikes etc at Grin Technologies, ruclips.net/user/liveUb4EP2_mAds?si=xN2dCCIEFy57D0k- You mentioned the pain of multi controller wiring so I'm looking it up. cheers !

Imagine my 140kg TramperTWS getting on/off your operating table ! Sheesh you would need an electric winch. Happy re-Birthday to Wood-e and his midwife.

Off to a flying start ! Where do you get the leather (tools or sandwiches?) bag ?

May i ask what make and model your scooter is as i can't find it anywhere i was looking at the teverun but it is to wide for my storage thank you

it looks like a really great place for a ride out and with some friendly and helpful people too. But what a pain that there are so many flipping gates. Are they there to control cattle? Or sheep?

Nice little ride that but much more enjoyable slowed down to 0.75 speed 😉

Bit naughty of them using different locks 😐, Do you have anti-puncture tyres on there Joe?...was just wondering with all the sharp twigs you might come across.

Great ! How come the camera is as smooth on rough ground as on tarmac ?

Love the very fitting music you choose Joe.

Frustrating to say the least.

Awesome.

Looks like it rained a bit

Wow what inspiration for building your Wood-E ! 😳

There is no livestock! what are all the gates for?

Great video, will head up to the trail and give it a go myself. Any chance you could add locations to the video as we are watching. Not sure of how to video edit. Look forward to more videos of your exploits.

You should email the local council about the barriers Sustrans has good documentation you can send them

Thank you Joe, that passed a gloomy wet afternoon x

aww love that little furry friend

How fast were you travelling,? seemed fast but what a super view

Wow

is it normal to have all those gates etc, and what is the purpose if it is meant to be a trail for cyclists and mobility users. Do you get a lot of trail bikes or similar, and would the gates slow them down?

Isn't it funny how dog walkers can be fined for not picking up their dogs droppings up and Horse owners get away with it 🤔

Just heard your bike bell Joe, always a good idea to have one of them on the trails (y)

Awesome ride joe,unfortunately do to health issues haven't been on the trail yet but I will next month for sure,for now I just watch you and wood E and it .makes my day,thanks joe and wood E your friend from the United States😎👍

Great vid, very inspirational. Might be a bit out of your way (North Wales) but take a look at The Mawddach Trail. I've personally walked it several times. Around ten miles of footpath as smooth as you like and perfect for a mobility scooter or bycycle as I myself now use. Highly recommend and one of the most beautiful sections of pathway I've ever used.

what an absolutely stunning village. You are making me want to upgrade my motors!!! 😆

Nice runout Joe 👍

How did you glue the camera tro your head?

Love your shadow, it looks like you are a darlek

I think they would look better in chrome..😀

hi from down here in New Zealand,a cool day to ride around on my sports rider.Just when I thought winter is going and the beginning of Spring BANG!!!! winter is still here.Anyway hopefully spring will be here sooner than later.Enjoying your adventures

Nice Run Joe, from Frank.

Peter Marley and I have had road running lights for quite some time, also Hi Vis vests-all makes us more visible and hopefully safer....and! I do like the new mudguards, looks a lot better.

Looking good Joe 👍🏻😊

Awesome vlog and mudguards awesome

Loved the page turn transition. I have to find that option for my own videos. Beautiful video, the weather looked perfect, loved the clouds. It is very similar to our Rails to Trails in PA US without the gates. Are the gates to stop pedestrian traffic at roads or for animals?

Kia ora from New Zealand I enjoy watching your travels hoping to do the same here now that the weather is warming up.I have a Pride Sport Rider Scooter Safe travels Haere ra

Brilliant video Joe, thank you.

How much does it cost, Joe.

Excellent control on those steps, Joe, and those low bridges are a bit of a B.
