A person was caught riding an e-scooter along the M60 on Wednesday evening. Police received numerous reports of the person riding the tiny two-wheeled scooter, installed with a seat, along the motorway near the Princess Parkway junction in south Manchester.
The North West Motorway Police team acted, and prosecuted the person before seizing the scooter. Following the action, they posted a picture of the scooter at the side of the carriageway.
Currently, under UK law, the electric scooters are classed as 'powered transporters' along with the likes of hoverboards and electric unicycles, and can only be ridden in areas where trials are taking place, such as Salford and Rochdale.
