Footpaths are made for feet, not wheels. So, stay off footpaths when scooting. A fine of $198 can be issued on the spot to those riding on the footpath. When it comes to parking, make sure your e-scooter is parked somewhere that does not disrupt pedestrians or pose a safety hazard.

WEAR A HELMET!
This is a no brainer, (or it might be if you don't wear a helmet).
Plus, if you think that sounds like a headache, wait until the fine comes if you don't!

Scoot safe and be considerate • Pedestrians first! Slow down, use your bell, and give way to pedestrians.
• That call can wait! Don't use your mobile while scooting (or risk a fine of $593).
 

You may be super excited to get scootin', but keep in mind that the regulations say no passengers! One may be the loneliest number, but it is also the safest. That said, you don't need to go alone. With scooters here, there and everywhere, you and your pal can have one each! Remember you must ride in single file.

We have all heard "don't drink and drive", well, don't sip and scoot!! E-scooters are subject to the same 0.05 blood alcohol content limits and zero drug limits that apply when driving a car. So be a scooter hero and aim for zero!

E-scooters are only permitted to travel on bicycle lanes, shared paths, and lower speed roads (up to 60km/h) and only in participating councils. The Arevo's Bike Map can help you find bike paths and roads to safely ride on.

If you have your own e-scooter, you can now ride it Victoria wide up to 20km/hr (on permissible roads and bike lanes). They must have compliant lights, a working bell and brake. 

Woah Nelly, slow down there! The maximum speed on an e-scooter is 20 km/h.
Slower is safer and smarter - exceeding the limit could set you back $247.

Everyone wants to join in on the fun, but you must be at least 16 years of age before you get behind the handles of an e-scooter.
