Riders risk fines and licence points, with authorities reminding parents of the legal implications for children
The Isle of Man Constabulary is reminding the public that using electric scooters on public roads, pavements, or cycle paths is illegal.
It follows a recent court case in which a man was fined £950 and received seven penalty points on his driving licence after being stopped on an e-scooter.
Police say complaints about the use of e-scooters have increased in recent weeks, prompting renewed calls for residents to be aware of the law.
Officers have also issued a warning to parents, advising that although e-scooters may appear to be a harmless gift, children using them in public could be committing an offence.
