An e-scooter is a type of motorised scooter. This is the latest craze in the cycling world. An e-scooter is like a motorcycle with two wheels attached to a frame. It has an electric motor to give it a boost of energy. This allows you to get places faster and easier. You can ride on pavement, dirt or grass. An e-scooter uses its own battery pack, which is recharged by plugging it into a standard power socket. It is much safer than using a conventional motorcycle, so it is definitely recommended that you learn how to ride a bicycle before attempting to learn how to ride an e-scooter.
You must have the category Q entitlement on your driving licence to use an E Scooter. A full or provisional UK licence for categories AM, A or B includes entitlement for category Q. If you have one of these licences, you can use an e-scooter.
Your local council or transport authority should provide you with information about the rules and regulations regarding the use of e-scooters. They may even make it compulsory for all riders to hold an e-scooter permit, just like the ones you need to ride a motorcycle or a moped.
