📍Riding an e‑scooter on the road or footpath can lead to fines or even a court appearance.

📍If your child rides one in a road‑related area, you may also be fined.

📍Most importantly, we want everyone to stay safe and avoid unnecessary risks.

So before you buy or jump on a private e-scooter, check the current rules in NSW.
