A lot would frown upon it (it doesn’t exactly please me). But technically it is a bridleway, and as I understand it, scramblers are legally allowed on bridleways.
It does seem at odds with the speed restriction on the lakes waters and mere’s though. If a lot of people took it up I know what would cause more disruption / consternation. It would make the speedboats look like a serene activity. Thankfully I have never witnessed one on the fells so it must be a fairly rare occurrence. Hopefully it will stay that way.
