General rules, techniques and advice for all drivers and ridersRule 157

No Mini Motos or Go-Peds on Roads

This rule is a legal requirement
Certain motorised vehicles do not meet the construction and technical requirements for road vehicles and are generally not intended, not suitable and not legal for road, pavement, footpath, cycle path or bridleway use. These include most types of miniature motorcycles, also called mini motos, and motorised scooters, also called go peds, which are powered by electric or internal combustion engines. These types of vehicle MUST NOT be used on roads, pavements, footpaths or bridleways.

💡Example

Some small motorised vehicles, like mini motos and go-peds, are not built to legal road standards, so you must not ride them on roads, pavements, footpaths, cycle paths or bridleways. For example, you cannot ride a petrol-powered mini moto along your local street or on the pavement to the park, even for a short distance, as it is illegal to use it anywhere on the public highway or public paths.
