Electric scooter laws in NSW

Riding an electric scooter (e-scooter) is currently illegal unless on private property in New South Wales.

So far as NSW is concerned, it is perfectly legal for retailers to sell e-scooters. However, it's against the law for retailers to sell e-scooters (or any product or service) based on misleading or incorrect information to consumers. In fact, retailers who sell products on misleading or deceptive practices like this can face up to a $10m fine (for body corporates or up to $500,000 for an individual).

Unfortunately, technology is advancing so fast, that the law is having trouble keeping up.
