A disabled man in Edinburgh was surprised to be charged with several offenses while riding his e-scooter at 4 mph on the pavement.
Chris Osborne, who suffers from chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, purchased the scooter to improve his mobility.
He was charged with using a motor vehicle on a pavement and driving without a license and insurance. Although it is legal to own an e-scooter, privately-owned scooters were banned from public use until recently.
The law changed on July 4, allowing rented e-scooters to be used in public by those with a provisional license and insurance provided by the rental company.
