Understand Electric Scooter Laws: A Guide

Since the classification of Light Electric Vehicle (LEV) is relatively new, many countries have yet to pass e-scooter specific regulations.  In fact a large majority of countries are regulating e-scooter usage by allotting them the same liberties as bicycles. For instance limiting their usage to bike lanes or roadways and prohibiting them from sidewalks. Other countries, like the UK, have banned them outright and give the strictest of provisions.
