The use of electric scooters on Edinburgh 's streets has been labelled a "Wild West situation" where children as young as 10 drive on pavements and endanger pedestrians, as a councillor called for the city to prepare for them to be regulated.
Despite the law stating e-scooters can only be driven on private land they are regularly sighted on the streets of the capital with people often using them along cycle routes.
Legal to buy and sell with no age limit in place, Edinburgh SNP councillor Danny Aston said there is a 'regulatory gap' that could soon be filled.
