Thinking of buying an e-scooter ? Read this first.

E-scooters might seem like a fun gift, but privately owned e-scooters cannot be used on public roads, pavements, cycle paths or in public places. If they are, police can stop riders, seize the e-scooter, and deal with offences such as driving without insurance.

Parents, please think carefully before purchasing one. A moment of fun can quickly lead to injury, penalties, or a visit from the police.

Stay safe, know the law, and help keep our communities safe for everyone.
