To buy an e-scooter can be tempting,

But the consequences you could  be regreting.

You can buy one new or second hand,

But it can only be used on private land.

 

E-scooters are classed the same as cars ,

To be used on public roads they gain no stars.

They must be mot'd ,insured and comply with tax rates,

And illegal if they do not have proper number plates.

 

No signal abilities,no visible rear lights,

Definitely a danger to ride on dark nights.

Police can prosecute when riders cause distress,annoyance or alarm ,

And also have the powers to seize e-scooters to avoid causing serious harm .
