France is set to ban electric scooters from pavements following a rise in accidents and growing complaints over the number of the devices littering the streets.
Berlin's city hall has also drawn up tough new rules for electric scooters, while Barcelona has banned scooter rental services completely.
In the UK, electric scooters are currently only allowed on private land, with the permission of the landowner. Using them on the road commits the offence of using a motor vehicle with no insurance, and risks a £300 fixed penalty notice and six points on a driving licence.

And in local news here in NZ you can ride them where and how the hell you like and hit the health service with any injury costs involved.
