In recent years, there has been a real boom in electric scooters in European cities. Unfortunately, delight in scooters is also accompanied by negative emotions - they pose a real threat to road users. Media from many European countries reports about dangerous events involving electric scooters. Only in France alone, during the years 2013-2017, there were 1,378 accidents involving electric scooters, of which 5 were fatal injuries in 2017. At present, there is a lack of statistical data illustrating these events in Poland, but the number of media reports over the last 7 months indicates that this is a serious problem. The more serious is that at the moment the changes announced by the legislator have not come into force to this day and until then the scooter will be considered a pedestrian. This article discusses the legislative changes proposed by the legislator regulating electric scooters, as well as analyzes the regulations in force in other European countries regulating this issue.
