Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall says his department has more important things to do than regulate e-scooters and electric bikes.
During this month's Tynwald sitting, he was asked about new laws governing the machines by Douglas North MHK David Ashford.
Mr Crookall said the department had held a public consultation about the vehicles, and had drafted new laws.
But he said the issue simply isn't a priority at the moment:
Record number of seal pups recorded
Proposed laws could mean free period products
Unemployment fell slightly last month
GP waiting times to be raised in House of Keys tomorrow
Waves higher than predicted on crossing which damaged cars
Spitfire flights to be launched from Ronaldsway
Does Crogga owe the government money?
Thinking of standing for election?
