Gardaí seized three e-scooters in Letterkenny yesterday.

Letterkenny gardaí say they seized the e-scooters following reports that youths had been using them “on footpaths in a dangerous manner”.

“The seized e-scooters are believed to have been in breach of power, weight and other regulations,” shared An Garda Síochána Donegal.

Gardaí have reminded parents not to buy e-scooters for children or allow them to have one in their possession.

“If your child already has one - take it away. These are not toys. They are powerful pieces of equipment that could put young users, pedestrians, and other road users at real risk. Enforcement will continue.”
