Are e-scooters legal?
Electric scooters are legal to own in the UK but there are restrictions on where they can be used.
Currently, electric scooters can only be used on private land with the landowner’s permission. It is illegal to use them on public roads, pavements, cycle lanes and in pedestrian-only areas.
The only e-scooters that are legal to use on roads are those taking part in government-approved rental trial schemes, which began in 2020 to gather data for the potential full legalisation of the scooters.
