The College was recently advised by the City of Unley that they will be trialling e-scooters as a form of shared mobility device from 14 February 2022 until 15 August 2022 (six months), with a possible extension to March 2023 (12 months). You may, therefore, start to see e-scooters around the local area. Please note the following details about the trial:
- Only e-scooters operated by approved operators (Neuron and Beam) are permitted in the trial area
- Personal e-scooters are still illegal for use on public roads/footpaths in SA
- According to SA road rules, users of e-scooters must be over 18 years of age and wear a helmet that is securely fitted
- Users will be advised of the risks and applicable insurances and asked to confirm that they are over 18 years of age and wearing a helmet prior to commencing an e-scooter ride
- If users are not over 18 and/or not wearing a helmet, users may not be covered by insurance and will be liable for any incident.
The City of Unley have provided answers to Frequently Asked Questions on their website.
