A woman is thought to be the first person to be banned from UK roads for drink-driving an e-scooter.
The magistrate told Kyah Jordan the vehicle was the same as a moped, the same as a bus in terms of rules the road and penalties for breaking them.
She hired the e-scooter after drinking with friends on the Isle of Wight.
The Met Police says fines and penalty points will be handed to e-scooter riders jumping a red light, using a mobile phone or riding on the pavement.

The company People s Energy has contacted all its 270,000 current customers, following a data breach.
Co-founder Karin Sode told BBC News an entire database had been stolen by hackers and included information on previous customers.
Data stolen included names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, tariff and energy meter IDs, she said.
But with the exception of that of 15 small-business customers, no financial information had been accessed.
Those businesses bank accounts and sort codes had been accessed, Ms Sode said.
And they had been contacted separately by phone.
