Electric Scooters: Regulation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of a public awareness campaign on the law regarding the use of e-scooters.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
We have committed to pursuing legislative reform for micromobility vehicles when parliamentary time allows. It will create safe, legal routes for people to use new transport technology and allow us to crack down on those determined to use e-scooters illegally or irresponsibly.
As part of this, the Government will carefully consider how we communicate with the public on their current legal status, how that will be changing, and any future requirements they may need to comply with to use e-scooters lawfully.
