E Scooters

Published: 19 December 2024

Are you planning on purchasing a e-scooter this Christmas?

Here's a quick reminder that they still remain illegal in the UK:

It's not currently possible to get insurance for privately owned e-scooters which means it’s illegal to use them on the road or in public spaces, such as parks, street pavements, and shopping centres.

If you own an e-scooter, you can only use them on private land, such as in a garden. But you must have the permission of the landowner to do so.

Breaching the rules when riding one could land you with a fixed penalty notice and points on your licence.
