A helmet and high-visibility clothing have now become mandatory
Helmets and high-visibility clothing will now be mandatory for e-scooter users.
E-scooter users must be 16 or older and obey a 20km/h speed limit. The e-scooter must be kept in roadworthy condition (lights, bell, etc.). The individual is required to obey signals given by a Garda or school warden and follow the same rules of the road that apply to cyclists, including traffic lights, road signs, and all types of pedestrian crossings.
The protective gear became a requirement as of Friday, September 4.
E-scooter users must not use footpaths or motorways, hold a mobile phone, have a seat, or carry passengers or goods.
