Currently, e-scooters are only legal on private land or through trial hire schemes.
The government had announced new laws on e-scooters in May 2022, but there was no mention of them in the recent King's Speech, leading to concerns about the delay.
The government has instead extended existing e-scooter trials until May 2026, aiming to gather further evidence on safety, user accountability, and market growth.
Campaigners argue that new laws are needed to ensure safety standards for both rental and privately owned e-scooters.
