Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to ban e-scooters.

Private e-scooters are illegal to use on public roads, cycle lanes and pavements, and rental e-scooters can only be used in national rental e-scooter trials.

However, it is lawful to sell e-scooters for use on private land as long as it is made clear to the buyer they cannot be used on the road.

As you will appreciate, the new Government is still in its early stages, and Ministers are carefully considering next steps and potential policy solutions for e-scooters.
