There's been a lot of discussion surrounding the legality of electric scooters. If you're looking to buy an e-scooter, it's important to understand where you can and can't ride it.
The sight of more people riding e-scooters on roads may make you think they're okay to ride. However, there are different rules for different areas of the country. It's important to do your research before riding.
E-scooters are legal to ride on private land and are being trialed in some areas of the UK, including London. With more people avoiding public transport due to COVID-19, it's believed the police are taking a lenient view on e-scooter use unless they're being used recklessly. At E-Scooters 4 Less, we believe it's only a matter of time until electric scooters can be ridden freely in the UK.
When riding an electric scooter, it's important to ensure your rear braking lights are visible and you obey the rules of the road.
