It remains illegal to use privately owned e-scooters other than on private land with land-owners’ permission. The police will continue to undertake enforcement activity to deal with the illegal use of privately owned e-scooters.
Please see our page on Ealing’s e-scooter schemes, which currently are the only way to legally travel on an e-scooter on Ealing’s streets:

The Government continues to look at introducing laws and regulations to allow the use of privately owned e-scooters on UK streets; there is more here on the legislative processes that are ongoing.
