E Scooter for Christmas?, as a Gift?, purchased for easy Transport or Fun? Know the Law!


Good Afternoon,

 

Make sure you know the law regarding an E Scooter. 

 

Although e-scooters are available to buy they are currently illegal to use on public roads, pavements, cycle lanes and pedestrian only areas. E Scooters are currently classed as Personal Light Electric Vehicles (PLEVs). They fall under the same laws and regulations that apply to all motor vehicles in terms of requiring insurance, tax, MOT, licence and registration. 

 

Anyone found using them in public areas risks having the e-scooter seized by the Police. 

 

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/e-scooter-trials-guidance-for-users provides information regarding the use of E Scooters and where E Scooters can be used as a rental trial.  

 

Please forward this email / information on to anyone that may benefit knowing it.  

 

Many thanks
