Speaking in the Commons on Monday, Mr Betts raised the issue of delivery drivers coming up fast behind people on pavements.
He said: “The use of e-bikes and e-scooters has become an increasing problem in Sheffield city centre pedestrian areas.
“They are a threat now to public safety, particularly when used by Deliveroo and other drivers.”
In response, Home Office Minister Diana Johnson said the government would soon set out its plans to crack down on antisocial road use.
The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) warned near-silent e-scooters and e-bikes were hard to see and hear, so could make people “nervous about using their local town and city centres”.
It said they were “driving people with sight loss away from using local cafes, restaurants or shops”.
Guide Dogs said despite sharing safety information with rental operators and local authorities, e-scooters and e-bikes were still left on pavements, blocking the way.
“There’s desperate need for better public education about the law, joined-up enforcement, and a clear decision from government,” the charity said.
“If private e-scooters are allowed, they should be properly controlled.
“If these controls are not implemented, they simply shouldn’t be sold in the first place.”
