Gardaí issue e-scooters misuse warning to public

An Garda Síochána Laois/Offaly have called on e-scooter users to 'understand the law' following a number of vehicle seizures.

A recent post on social media showed a number of e-scooters which the An Garda Síochána Laois/Offaly division impounded from users following their misuse.

'These are just some of the e-scooters seized by our Gardaí recently, with the vast majority found to be significantly overpowered.

'If you're considering purchasing an e-scooter, take the time to understand the law before wasting your money.

Most are now destined for the great scrap heap in the sky, because today's bargain can quickly become tomorrow's very expensive dust collector,' the Gardaí stated.
