Transport Malta revealed on Wednesday that 137 e-scooters were seized since the beginning of the year from various localities around the island.

In an effort to step up law enforcement, the entity said that at the beginning of the year it was given the authority via legal notice to enforce the law on e-scooter use.Enforcement officers carried out various operations around Malta to ensure that traffic regulations are being observed by users.

St Julian’s, Sliema, St Paul’s Bay and Gzira were among the areas heavily targeted given the use of these vehicles. The scooters were confiscated of a multitude of reasons, including expired licenses, failure to register vehicles with the Authority and some without a valid insurance policy.

It was revealed by Director of Enforcement within Transport Malta Patrick Pollacco that these operations will continue as TM is committed to being more vigilant in its enforcement.
