Our retelling · details in the original publication
Abu Dhabi Police continue to remind residents about essential safety requirements for riding electric scooters and bicycles. The latest reminder outlines 9 key rules that all riders must follow to stay safe and avoid penalties.
The core requirements include mandatory protective equipment — helmet, knee pads, and elbow pads. Riders must use designated bike lanes, travel in the direction of traffic flow, and avoid motorised roads. Speed limits must be respected without exception.
The police department has been particularly proactive in enforcement. Recently, they released a video demonstrating the dangers of unsafe e-scooter riding. Violators face fines and other financial penalties.
If you ride an e-scooter or e-bike in Abu Dhabi, review these rules carefully. Compliance is mandatory, not optional, and violations come with real consequences for your wallet.
