Staffordshire Police are reminding “what is the Law if you have a E-Scooter”.
You can buy one but you can’t ride it on a UK public road, cycle lane or pavement. The only place an E-Scooter can be used is on private land with the landowners permission.
Why is this?
E-Scooters are classified as Powered Transporters, so they are treated as motor vehicles and subject to the same legal requirements such as :
. MOT
. Licensing
. Tax
. Insurance
As E-Scooters do not have number plates, signaling ability and don’t always have visible rear lights, they can’t be used legally on the roads.
