Shane Ross: Retailers obliged to inform that segweys and e-scooters are illegal on public roads

Transport Minister Shane Ross has warned retailers that e-scooters are illegal on public roads and that they need to tell customers that they should not be used in such spaces.

Minister Ross said that retailers are obliged to tell customers that e-scooters or other powered personal transporters (PPTs), such as segways and hoverboards, are only available to use legally on private property.
