N Ireland only recently changed the law to make them ridable by anyone. Before that they were actually basically classed as motorbikes meaning you needed insurance a motorbike license and had to wear all the leathers and helmets that go along with that.

Personally I thought that was stupid as hell and that's why there's still basically none on the streets here.

Need a simpler law like anything capable of over 25mph should be classed as a moped.
