More scooters seized in Worksop

🚔 On Saturday, 29th March 2025, the Worksop North Neighbourhood Policing Team seized three e-scooters in Worksop whilst on patrol. 🛴

Bassetlaw residents have aired their concerns regarding irresponsible e-scooter riding. It’s clear that this is a priority for the community, and we’re listening.

It’s essential to remember that e-scooters are classified as motor vehicles under the Road Traffic Act 1988. Therefore, the same rules that apply to regular motor vehicles also apply to e-scooters, including the need for a licence, insurance, and tax.

The message is simple: e-scooters are not permitted on the road. There’s no room for exceptions. No “ifs” or “buts.”

In Nottingham, authorised e-scooter hire schemes are in place. These e-scooters are well-maintained, insured, and riders are registered within the scheme.

While we are committed to tackling more serious crimes, the situation with careless e-scooter riding demands our attention for the safety of everyone.

Tragically, Nottinghamshire has already witnessed a fatal collision involving an e-scooter. Taking a firm stance on this issue is necessary, and we make no apologies for it. If you choose to ride an e-scooter unlawfully, be aware that we will seize it.
