Yes, in the United Kingdom, our scooters are classified as motor vehicles. This means in order to ride, you need to be legally licenced to use and drive e-scooters in the United Kingdom.
Before your first ride, you'll be prompted to scan your driving licence in order to unlock a scooter.
You must have the category Q entitlement on your driving licence to use an e-scooter. A full or provisional UK licence for categories AM, A or B includes entitlement for category Q. If you have one of these licences, you can use an e-scooter.
If you have an overseas driving licence, you can use an e-scooter if you:
- have a valid full licence from an EU or European Economic Area (EEA) country (so long as this does not prohibit you from driving low-speed mopeds and motorcycles);
- have a valid full licence from another country that entitles you to drive a small vehicle (for example, cars, mopeds or motorcycles) and you entered the UK within the last 12 months.
You cannot use an e-scooter if you have an overseas provisional licence, learner permit or equivalent.
