E-scooter fitted with exercise bike seized by police

Police said an exercise bike was "welded" to an e-scooter in Inverness

Police have seized an electric scooter with an exercise bike fitted to it after it was spotted being ridden around Inverness.

In a post on social media, Police Scotland wrote: "Yes, that is an exercise bike welded to it. Rider reported, vehicle seized."

The force previously warned about the use of e-scooters. While they can be legally purchased, it is illegal to ride them on public roads and pavements.

Police Scotland said the only place a privately owned e-scooter could be used is on private land with the agreement of the land owner.
