Police are warning Scots that it is currently illegal to ride e-scooters in any public place across the country.
The electric scooters - which are treated as motor vehicles - are currently legally available to purchase in Scotland.
But cops have warned it's against the law to ride a privately owned e-scooter in any public place in the UK.
A statement from Police Scotland says this includes: "roads, pavements, parks, town centres or promenades."
They add: "The only place a privately owned e-scooter can be used is on private land with the agreement of the land owner. "
E-scooters are classified as Personal Light Electric Vehicles (PLEVs) and are therefore treated as motor vehicles and are subject to the same legal requirements as any other motor vehicle.
That means they require insurance, a valid driving licence, and compliance with various construction and use requirements.
Owners risk a £300 fine, six penalty points on their driving licence and an additional fine for not having insurance.
