🛴 E-Scooters: Know the Risks & The Law 🛴

Are you considering buying an e-scooter, or does your child already use one? It’s important for parents and carers to know the facts before heading out!

⚠️ Did you know?
Privately owned e-scooters cannot legally be ...ridden in public places — including roads, pavements, cycle paths, and parks. They can only be used on private land with the landowner’s permission.

🚨 What are the risks?
• Legal consequences: Riding a private e-scooter in public can result in fines, penalty points on a driving licence, and scooter seizure.
• Safety hazards: High speeds, collisions with pedestrians, and lack of road awareness pose serious injury risks.
• Fire risks: Damaged, modified, or improperly charged lithium-ion batteries can create severe fire hazards.

💡 How parents can help:
1️⃣ Talk to your child about the law before buying or allowing use.
2️⃣ Keep it off public paths — remind them where they can and cannot ride.
3️⃣ Practice battery safety — follow manufacturer charging instructions and avoid unsafe modifications.
