Scarborough Police Investigate High Speed E-Scooter Use

Police officers in Scarborough have issued a warning after reports of a high speed E-Scooter being used on Crab Lane in Crossgates.

North Yorkshire Police says it has received information in relation to a young male riding an E-Scooter at speeds exceeding 30mph on Crab Lane, Crossgates, Scarborough.

The force has issued a reminder that it is illegal to use a powered transporter such as an E-Scooter either

  • on a public road without complying with a number of LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, which potential users will find very difficult
  • in spaces that are set aside for use by pedestrians, cyclists, and horse-riders; this includes on the pavement and in cycle lanes

Officers say:

"Any person who uses a powered transporter on a public road or other prohibited space in breach of the law, is committing a CRIMINAL OFFENCE and can be prosecuted.

If you have more information that will assist our enquiries, please email the Filey, Eastfield and Rural Neighbourhood Team on snafiley@northyorkshire.police.uk

If you wish to report an incident involving the use of E-Scooters in your area, please call 999 if it is an emergency or 101 for non-emergencies.

Alternatively, you can report online via https://orlo.uk/mObzj"

The force has a webpage offering guidance around E-scooters at https://www.northyorkshire.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/rs/road-safety/advice-escooters/
