Minister for Transport has asked RSA to find out how e-scooters are regulated in Europe

to research how e-scooters and other such vehicles are regulated in other countries, particularly other EU member states, “and is keen to understand the road safety implications of the use of such vehicles on public roads, especially when interacting with other vehicles”.

Once that research has been completed, a decision will be taken on whether or not to amend existing legislation. “The department will need to be satisfied that permitting such vehicles on our roads will not give rise to safety concerns, both for the users themselves and for all other road users including cyclists, pedestrians and motorists,” the Department of Transport spokesman added.
