Sustainable mobility is a big deal in today’s world and e-scooters – when ridden safely and legally – could one day form part of a sustainable personal transport mix. But did you know that, outside the towns and cities that are running e-scooter hire schemes, it’s currently illegal to ride an e-scooter?

In fact, while it’s not actually illegal to buy or own a personal e-scooter, the only place you can legally ride a privately owned one is on private land, with the landowner’s permission.
