Following recent incidents involving E-scooters, we would like to provide information about their safe and lawful use.

Although these vehicles can be legally purchased in Scotland, they are illegal to ride on public roads, pavements and other public places. They can only lawfully be used on private land with landowner’s permission.

Please consider the dangers of E-scooters and remember that anyone purchasing one has a responsibility to be aware of the law and implications.

Riders are often uninsured, unprotected and inexperienced. Travelling at high speeds, instability and poor visibility increases the risk of serious injury. Illegal use in shared spaces puts pedestrians and other road users at risk.

Enforcement action can be taken against the rider and those who purchase these machines. Police can lawfully seize E-scooters when used illegally.

For more information, please see the Department of Transport and Motor Insurance Bureau pages using the below links:
