FAQ

Am I buying a legitimate product? 

We are aware that there are lots of copies and imports from China, available for some companies to purchase and supply. 

Rest assured Electric Travels Ltd is a legitimate company (registration no 12626741) and we only work with official UK and European manufacturers and distributors. All of our stock is intended for the UK and European markets and will come with a full manufacture warranty. All goods will also come with CE certificate (to show its passed legal tests to allow it to be sold in UK) 

Is it legal to use my electric scooter on the roads?  

At the time of writing no, it is not legal to ride electric scooters on the road.  Electric Scooters are classified as Personal Light Electric Vehicles (PLEVs), so they're treated as motor vehicles and are subject to all the same legal requirements - MOT, tax, licensing and specific construction. 

So, because they don't always have visible rear red lights, number plates or signaling ability, they can't be used legally on the roads.  The law covering e-bikes - which are battery-assisted pedal cycles - doesn't currently cover e-scooters, but the government wants to regulate them in a similar way in future.
