Performance step-upNewE-scooter rules change at every border. Pick your state or territory for the rules that apply to you, then see the scooters that fit the legal class.
Private e-scooters were legalised on 13 July 2025. They are allowed on footpaths, shared paths, bike paths, bike lanes and some roads. The cap is 10 km/h on footpaths and shared paths, 25 km/h on bike paths and permitted roads. A government review of the rules closed in August 2026 with no changes announced yet.
Line up the specs that matter most and find your match. Legality is state dependent, we never claim a blanket road legal.
