​Did you know that children aged 12–15 years need to be supervised by an adult when using Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs - such as e-scooters, e-skateboards, and solo wheels)? 

It's important that riders follow the rules to keep themselves and other path users safe.
  • Ride solo – passengers are not allowed on PMDs as they are built for one person only at a time. It’s against the law to carry another person, including children. This means parents can't ride with their child on the same device.
  • Helmets – must be worn and fastened (fines apply).
  • Speed limits – maximum 25 km/h, but only when it's safe. 12km/h on footpaths from November 2022.
  • Share the path safely – always give way to pedestrians
