A warning has been put out after an 8-year-old boy was found riding an e-scooter in Nottingham.
Users of the infamous scooters being trialled in the city need to beat least 16 years of age to ride them.
Nottingham City Council's CPO Taxi Enforcement Twitter page posted at 10.24pm on Saturday June 12: "Little reminder you have to be 16 to use [e-scooters].
"Just asked the mum of a 8 year old does he have the relevant licence to to ride this. Riding in the city centre also on the road while very busy this evening."
It comes as e-scooter riders in Nottingham are some of the least likely to know the rules of their use, a new survey poll has found.
Less than one in four British adults (23 percent) strongly or somewhat agreed that they know all the legal requirements for renting an e-scooter, with adults in Nottingham some of the least likely to know rules, a new poll commissioned by the Major Trauma Group has found.
In three of the cities included in the survey where an e-scooter trial is taking place, individuals were less likely to agree that they know all the legal requirements than the general British public: 20 percent in Newcastle; 18 percent in Nottingham; and just 12 percent in Norwich.
Wind in Nottingham, which runs the city's trial scheme for e-scooters, says it "continuously educates" users on its app and through social media, as well as working with the city's universities.
