E-scooters

Essex County Council are running an e-scooter trial, part of the UK’s nationwide e-scooter trials. This service is exclusively available to adults (18+) who possess a valid full or provisional driving licence and have registered with the e-scooter provider via their app. This ensures they are covered by insurance, similar to car insurance.

Important safety information:

Not for children: e-scooters are not toys and should not be used by children.

Account holder only: only the registered account holder is permitted to ride the e-scooter. If someone else rides it, the e-scooter will be uninsured.

Safety first: never allow family or friends to use your account to ride the e-scooter. This is crucial for everyone’s safety.

Legal consequences: both the rider and the account holder could face a £300 fine and 6 points on their driving licence if the e-scooter is used by someone other than the account holder.
