E-scooters

E-scooters

E-scooters are illegal for use on pavement, footpaths, and the public highway.

If you use an e-scooter illegally you could face a fine, get penalty points on your licence and your e-scooter could be impounded. You may be allowed to ride an e-scooter rented as part of a government trial in some areas, however Barnet are not currently taking part in these trials.

Visit RoSPA for a factsheet on e-scooters giving information on the law, rental e-scooters as well as the benefits and disadvantages of e-scooter use. 

More detailed information on the law, how to travel safely, and a list of areas where e-scooters can be rented as part of a government trial can be found on the E-scooter trials: guidance for users page.
