E-scooters which comply with the relevant regulations and technical specifications have been legal to use on Irish public roads since May this year. Technical and usage requirements for e-scooters may be found at www.gov.ie/en/campaigns/5e95b-e-bikes-e-mopeds-and-e-scooters/.

My Department will consider a review in 2025 of e-scooter use and legislation, with a view to examining technical standards, usage requirements and road safety matters.
