E-scooters seem to have been taking over the roads and pavements of English cities since summer 2020, with the Government e-scooter trials kicking off in July 2020 in Middlesbrough. However, there is confusion about what is and isn’t legal in the e-scooter world. Add in e-bikes and people are understandably unsure of what the rules actually are. Insurance? Roads or pavement riding? Can a retailer sell an e-scooter if they are illegal to ride anywhere but on private land? Is an e-bike the same as an e-scooter?
