The UK scooter laws can be confusing, as having a privately owned e-scooter isn’t illegal—as long as the rider only uses it on private land. So, if you’re injured whilst riding your private scooter on public land, including roads and cycle lanes, you won’t be able to claim compensation.
Rented electric scooters are different, but you’ll still have to prove you weren’t at fault, as reckless riding that results in an injury won’t make you eligible for compensation claims.
