Urgent e-scooter law update from police
Posted on 30th July 2021
Our NO WIN NO FEE personal injury solicitors specialising in electric scooter accident claims discuss recent legal updates for e-scooters.
Senior police officials have spoken out about the dangers of e-scooters this week, branding them ‘illegal and dangerous’, telling people not to ‘waste their money’ in buying one of the scooters. This comes after several of accidents have occurred in recent weeks involving the e-scooters, leaving a number of people injured.
In one such incident, an 18-year-old boy has suffered from a fractured skull after being knocked off his scooter by a car in the early hours of the morning, in Nottinghamshire. Our personal injury solicitors specialising in e-scooter accident claims are all too aware of the dangers that the scooters pose, and will run through the legal standpoint of them in this article.

Are electric scooters legal in the UK?
If you are reading this and wondering, ‘can you ride electric scooters in the UK?’, or ‘are electric scooters illegal in the UK?’, then you have come to the right place, and our expert electric scooter accident solicitors are here to explain.
As of July 2021, it is currently still illegal to ride a privately owned e-scooter on UK roads which is not part of a government trial. These e-scooter government trials are taking place over 50 cities and towns across the country, which is set to rise soon.
It is perfectly legal to purchase and own a private e-scooter in the UK, but privately owned electric scooters are only allowed to be used on private land. Our specialist electric scooter accident solicitors are often asked, ‘can I ride my electric scooter in a cycle lane?’, and the answer is always no. Privately owned electric scooters are not allowed to ride on UK roads, cycle paths, or pavements.
Electric scooter uk law change 2021:
There are not currently any set dates for any changes regarding the legal standpoint of electric scooters in the UK, or electric scooter law in the UK. Still, what the government have said is that an in-depth review of electric scooter rules in the UK will take place in March 2022, presumably using data from the numerous trials across the country to guide the decision.
