🛴 Thinking of buying an e-scooter for Christmas?

Durham Police and Crime Commissioner Joy Allen is urging people to think carefully before buying a privately owned e-scooter as a gift.

⚠️ Privately owned e-scooters cannot legally be ridden on public roads, pavements or cycle lanes. They can only be used on private land with the landowner’s permission.

E-scooters are not harmless toys. In 2025, 10 people were killed and an estimated 484 seriously injured in Great Britain.

Illegal use can also result in fines, penalty points and the e-scooter being seized and potentially destroyed.

Before you buy, ask yourself: where will it legally be ridden?

Please know the law before you buy. 🛴⚠️
