After careful consideration, and following concerns raised by businesses and members of the public, the Commissioner of Police, in consultation with HE Governor and Cabinet, has taken the decision, to delay the commencement of the enhanced enforcement of the current legislation surrounding e-bikes, scooters, and other micro-mobility devices, until 1 March 2026.

This delay will allow all persons and businesses sufficient time to get all documents, including licenses and insurance coverage, in order.

“While we understand that many persons have been unable to complete their preparations before now, we want to stress the need for all persons using these devices to follow the required regulations,” says Commissioner Walton. “Once the enhanced enforcement begins on this new date, there will be no excuses for not being compliant.”

As a general reminder to the public, under the Traffic Act, riders of e-bikes and scooters are required to:

  *   Be at least 17 years old – regulations 6(1) Traffic Regulations (2021 Rev.)

  *   Hold a valid Category 0 or Category 2 Driver’s license – Schedule 2 Traffic (Categorization and Grouping) Regulations, 2012

  *   Ensure the device is inspected, registered, licensed and insured – Sections 6 & 16 Traffic Act (2023 Rev.)
