Electric Scooter Seized in Bromsgrove 

Today, officers seized an electric scooter being ridden illegally on the public roads. We’d like to remind the public of the laws surrounding e-scooters and offer advice to those considering using them.

 The Law on E-Scooters:
- E-scooters are classified as motor vehicles under the Road Traffic Act. This means they must adhere to the same regulations as cars or motorbikes.
- Insurance, tax, and MOT are required to ride e-scooters on public roads.
- It’s illegal to ride privately owned e-scooters on public roads, pavements, or cycle paths.
- Public use is only allowed on rented e-scooters as part of government-approved trial schemes.

What This Means for You:
- If you own an e-scooter, you can only legally ride it on private land with the landowner’s permission.
- Riding on public highways or pavements could result in your scooter being seized, fines, or penalty points.

Please stay informed, stay safe, and know the rules before using an e-scooter.
