Compare electric scooters and safety gear for Irish riders. Ireland has strict limits on speed, power and weight for road use, so check a model meets them.
Check the law before you buy. E-scooters have been legal on Irish roads since 20 May 2024 as powered personal transporters. To be used on public roads they must weigh no more than 25 kg including batteries, travel at 20 km/h or less, have a motor of 400 W or less, have wheels of at least 200 mm, have no seat, have front and rear lights, reflectors, front and rear brakes and a bell, carry a manufacturer's plate showing power, weight and design speed, and have a CE mark (the retailer must give a declaration of conformity). Since 4 September 2026 riders must wear a helmet and high-visibility clothing. Minimum age is 16; Citizens Information says an increase to 18 from 2 October 2026 has been announced but was not yet in place when checked. No licence, registration, tax or compulsory insurance. Not allowed on footpaths or motorways, and banned on all NTA public transport. Many scooters sold in Europe exceed 20 km/h, 400 W or 25 kg, so product pages should tell buyers to check the manufacturer's plate before riding on public roads.
