Do you need to have a licence to use an e-scooter?
If you were banned from the road could you still use an e-scooter?

No, you need to have a driving licence to use an e-scooter and currently you can only legally ride an e-scooter on public roads in England as part of the Government trials. E-scooter operators taking part in the trials will perform a licence check before letting someone hire an e-scooter.
