I bought an electric scooter a few months ago and I heard there were new rules starting in 2025-2026. I don't really understand the fine amounts or where you're allowed to ride now in Paris. Can someone explain the recent changes to me?
The rules have changed quite a bit, yeah, but it's mostly about zones. In Paris you can ride an e-scooter on bike lanes and low-speed roads, but not on sidewalks unless you're on foot. Fines are like 50-135 euros if you're riding in the wrong place, more expensive if you're speeding in a forbidden zone or if you're bothering pedestrians. I'd suggest checking the Paris city hall website or the police prefecture to get the current stuff, because it changes regularly and I don't want to give you figures that might be outdated.
