Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of bringing forward legislation to limit the speed of e-scooters.

E-scooters used as part of the ongoing e-scooter trials are already limited to 15.5mph.

Privately owned e-scooters remain illegal to use on public roads, cycle lanes and pavements, and enforcement is a matter for the police. No policy decisions on micromobility or e-scooter regulations have yet been made. The Department will consult on any new proposed regulations before they come into force, including on maximum speeds.
