94. Kick scooter

A kick scooter is a personal mobility device with a narrow platform, two or more wheels and a handlebar. A non-motorised kick scooter is propelled by pushing against the ground with one foot, while an electric kick scooter uses an electric motor for propulsion.

Kick scooters are commonly used for recreation and short-distance travel. Where they may be ridden and which traffic rules apply depend on whether the scooter is motorised and on its legal classification.
