Legislation was amended in July 2020 to allow for rental e-scooter trials which will run for 12 months. It remains illegal to use privately owned e-scooters. How the police enforce road traffic laws on the use of e-scooters is an operational matter for individual Chief Officers who will decide how to deploy available resources, taking into account any specific local problems and demands.
