Electric Scooters: Regulation
(asked on 15th March 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has plans to amend regulations in respect of privately owned electric powered scooters.
This question was answered on 17th March 2022
The Department for Transport is running trials of rental e-scooters to assess their safety and wider impacts and has in place a national monitoring and evaluation programme. A full set of findings on rental e-scooters from this evaluation will be included in the final report due in late spring 2022.
The evidence gathered during the trials will inform whether e-scooters should be legalised in the future, and how we can ensure their use is as safe as possible.
