IS IT LEGAL TO RIDE AN ELECTRIC SCOOTER IN AUSTRALIA
There are laws around the use of electric scooters in Australia and will vary between the
different states and territories. Although private use is allowed in all, public use will vary and
may even require licensing and registration. Please review the laws for your state before
purchasing and using an electric scooter. Safety equipment is mandatory regardless of
state, territory, or public and private use.
