Electric Scooters

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the impact of e-scooters on (a) driving licence and (b) insurance requirements.

Answer

The Department for Transport is currently considering options for future regulations for rental and private e-scooters. It will consult before any new arrangements come into force, and all interested parties will have a chance to shape the new regime.

Currently, third-party insurance is provided to users by e-scooter operators in the national trials, and users must also have a provisional driving licence.
