Kyle Lowthian and an e-scooter A DANGEROUS driver was prosecuted for riding an e-scooter just weeks after he was bitten by police dog and his BMW broke down during a 90mph police chase. Bolton Crown Court heard how 34-year-old Kyle Lowthian was spotted using the Qings Wing electric scooter, which he claimed to have bought for his son's birthday, by a police officer on Outwood Road, Radcliffe at 11.10pm on November 18 last year. Legally e-scooters are treated the same as motor vehicles and so can only be used in public if the user holds a licence and is insured. Verity Quaite, prosecuting, told the court how Lowthian was stationary, at traffic lights at the junction with Pilkington Way.
