POLICE took to the streets to speak to members of the public who were riding private e-scooters illegally. Riders were warned that they risk being reported for traffic offences and face seizure of their e-scooters if they are stopped again. The only place to legally ride a privately owned e-scooter is on private land with the owner or occupier’s permission. It is illegal to ride private e-scooters on roads, pavements, cycle lanes, beach promenades, bridleways, or public land such as parks and car parks. Sergeant Rhys Griffiths said: “At the moment, locally we’re not seeing serious injury and death trends but I think anyone would accept that with the speed and users not wearing helmets, there is massive potential for that trend to change and I suspect that probably in the coming months we will see that start to happen, so we’re trying to prevent that.”
