E-Scooter UK Legislation. A Bit Lost? All You Need to Know!

Electric scooters have turned into the flagship of the green transportation revolution and a symbol of modern urban transport. You can spot e-scooters basically anywhere, in large cities in the UK, in Europe and all around the globe. This new mode of transport is becoming more and more popular thanks to all the benefits it brings (no reject of CO2, less to no noise, portability, cost of running, etc).
Of course, there is a lot of noise around the situation of e-scooters in the UK. This can be confusing at best for a lot of people. So, what is true and what is not? What is going on with the e-scooter UK legislation?

The team here at E-mob Shop has compiled and published a report to summarise the situation of privately owned e-scooters with regards to the law at the end of 2022 and what could be expected in term of e-scooter UK legislation for 2023.

We strongly believe the e-scooter has a big part to play in the greener future of transportation, along with the other devices composing the micromobility landscape. That’s why E-mob Shop aims to provide and promote viable and reliable personal travel alternatives.

  1. Here here I wish our government would hurry up and legalise this fantastic mode of transport. I’ve bought two ready to use once legalised, charge them for free as I have solar panels and not only emissions free very portable and in these days of rising costs a great alternative to clogging up the roads with cars doing short runs 😁👍

    1. I really like the idea of using solar panels to charge your e-scooters. Not only is this good in terms of running costs, but also knowing you’re using clean electricity is just great! 👍

      Well done!
      Just need to wait for the legalisation to happen. Fingers crossed!

  2. It’s always a gray area and I really wish the government would legalise them has there good for the environment and good for getting about if used correctly.. I know a few people who work in high places and they said there mainly targeting teenagers and other adults who are causing harm to other members of the public on pavements flying past them and nearly bumping into them… but if you wear a helmet use a flash light ring your bell or just get off and walk there should not be a problem.

    1. Hi James,
      thank you or sharing your view.
      I totally agree, a few irresponsible individuals are slowing down the all process and penalising everyone.
      It’s not the machine, it is still the human interface that causes trouble. And there are the same issues with other means of transportation (bicycles, etc).
