Riding electric scooters in Adelaide
As more commuters prefer efficient and affordable personal transportation, more cities in Australia are allowing electric scooters and other personal micro-mobility devices on the road. The City of Adelaide is just one of the few cities in Australia that’s conducting e-scooter trials. Since the trial, electric scooters in Adelaide have become a popular and convenient way to get around the city. If you are planning to ride or buy an electric scooter in Adelaide, here are some guidelines that you should know.
Electric scooter law in Adelaide
According to South Australia’s e-scooter law, personal electric scooters are prohibited from being ridden in public roads and spaces. South Australia considers electric scooters as motorised wheeled recreational devices. Because of this, e-scooter riders must register their e-scooter, have a license, and get insurance for their e-scooter. However, since e-scooters don’t meet the safety standards of the Australian Design Rules, electric scooters in South Australia are not allowed for registration. As a result, private e-scooters are illegal to ride in public.
However, electric scooter law in SA has allowed electric scooter trials in the City of Adelaide back in February 2020. However, locals and tourists in Adelaide may only ride electric scooters from approved e-scooter operators within select trial areas. This means locals can buy electric scooters in Adelaide but can’t ride them in public.
Electric scooter trials in Adelaide
The only Adelaide electric scooter operators allowed to be ridden in public are units from Beam and Neuron. The City of Adelaide has permitted the two operators to run an e-scooter share program under certain rules and within specific locations. Commuters can access Beam and Neuron e-scooters by downloading their app. Both operators use their app to find e-scooters and unlock the shared e-scooters.
After stopping the trial during the pandemic, the City of Adelaide has allowed the e-scooter program to operate again as it recovers from the effects of the pandemic. For the riders’ safety, Beam and Neuron are required to clean the e-scooters regularly, track the e-scooter usage for contact tracing, and cooperate with health authorities.
Aside from e-scooter trials for the public, South Australia has also announced an e-scooter trial for SA police officers. The e-scooter trial will be conducted within the Adelaide CBD and will aim to help the police patrol the area efficiently. An e-scooter trial for police officers is a first in the country.
Where to use electric scooters in Adelaide
Beam and Neuron electric scooters may be ridden in Adelaide and North Adelaide, along the Coastal Park Trail, and within the City of Norwood, Payneham and St Peters. The trial for North Adelaide is currently in place until 31 October 2021.
