Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he plans to bring forward legislative proposals on e-scooters.
This question was answered on 12th May 2020
The Department is reviewing the regulations that apply to e-scooters as part of our Future of Transport Regulatory Review. In response to COVID-19, we are accelerating and expanding planned trials of rental e-scooters, allowing all areas that want to host trials to do so. We will introduce legislation in June to allow trials to begin. Evidence gathered in trials will inform whether and how e-scooters should be legalised in the future.
