After an in-depth safety review, the NSW Government is taking a major step forward—announcing plans to legalise the use of private electric scooters on footpaths and certain roads. This comes as a major win for commuters, eco-conscious riders, and the growing community embracing electric transport across Australia.

A Game-Changer for E-Scooter Riders

With over 1.35 million e-micromobility devices already in homes across NSW, this proposed reform acknowledges the clear shift in how Australians move. Riders aged between 18 and 29 are leading the charge—using e-scooters not just for leisure, but as practical alternatives to cars and public transport.

What the New Rules Could Look Like

  • Footpath Riding: Proposed laws will allow private e-scooters on footpaths at limited speeds to increase accessibility while maintaining pedestrian safety.
  • Low-Speed Roads: Riders may be permitted on roads where the speed limit is 50km/h or less, providing safer integration with vehicles.
  • Safety Standards: New regulations will likely include mandatory lights, helmet usage, and improved battery compliance to reduce fire risks.
