Naas Roads Policing Unit in Kildare this week seized an e-scooter from a 14-year-old rider who was carrying a passenger, due to the vehicle not meeting legal requirements.
The e-scooter was non-compliant in the following areas:
capable of speeds in excess of 20 km/h
weight exceeded 25 kg
motor output in excess of 400 watts
These factors meant the e-scooter was not compliant with current legislation and posed a serious risk to both the rider and other road users.
A spokesperson from An Garda Síochána Kildare noted: “Parents and guardians are reminded that not all e-scooters are legal for use in public places, and that riders must comply with age, speed, weight, and passenger restrictions.
“Road safety is everyone’s responsibility. Enforcement will continue.”
