York Police say they have taken another E-Scooter off the roads of the city

This one was seized by NPT Officers from a teenager with no insurance on Saturday evening.

A spokesperson said: “We are seeing a rise in driving offences involving e-scooters. and people need to understand the law surrounding their use.”

E-scooters are a form of powered transporter and are classed as motor vehicles by the Road Traffic Act.

That means you need a driving licence and insurance to use one on a road or public place.

Personal users are unlikely to be able to obtain adequate insurance, so are only allowed to use their e-scooter on private land.

York is the only place in North Yorkshire which has a trial scheme to help you ride legally

You still need at least a provisional driving licence, must be over the age of 18 and register with the company responsible for the trial, TIER.

You will need to comply with the rules set by the company, who will explain where you can ride legally. They will also ask you to prove you have a valid provisional or full driving license when you book.
