@Outanet@WalesOnline E-scooter are only legal on Uk roads when rented with the appropriate insurance. If you are drunk whilst using one regardless if it is insured or not, you can still be convicted of the offence of drink drive as e-scooters like bicycles etc. are classed as vehicles.
@Outanet@WalesOnline E-scooters are classed as motor vehicles under the Road Traffic Act 1988 . Which means the rules that apply to motor vehicles, also apply to e-scooters including the need to have a licence, insurance and tax.
You are incorrect
Thinking of buying an e-scooter for someone this Christmas? 🛴
⚠️ Unless the lucky recipient has private land on which to use it, please think again. ⚠️
While it is legal to purchase e-scooters, they can't be licensed and insured so cannot legally be ridden on public highways.
