Are Electric Scooters Legal?
Since the classification of Light Electric Vehicle (LEV) is relatively new, many countries have yet to pass e-scooter specific regulations.
A large majority of countries are regulating e-scooter usage by allotting them the same liberties as bicycles. For instance, limiting their usage to bike lanes or roadways and prohibiting them from sidewalks. Other countries, like the UK, have banned them outright and given the strictest of provisions. Each country has a specific set of regulations around e-scooter usage or non-usage. Below is a chart that provides a quick overview of the European countries (Including Israel and the UK) and their respective e-scooter legislation. To get more specific information please check with local laws for your respective country.
