Well we lasted two days without having to be the fun Police đŽââď¸
Just a reminder that these new scooters donât âbeamâ you up to a universe where rules of common sense, or more importantly WA laws, donât apply.
Youâre always telling us to âcatch some real criminalsâ - we would much rather be doing that than telling you off for having scooter races down York Street after a pub lunch or playing dodgems in the shopping centres.
Some of the penalties for E-rideable Devices (Beam Scooters) listed below;
- Ride on a carriageway, bicycle path or shared path at a speed exceeding 25kmh- $100 fine.
- Ride on a footpath at a speed exceeding 10kmh- $100 fine.
- Fail to wear a protective helmet- $50 fine.
- Ride with a passenger or animal on board- $50 fine.

If a Beam e-scooter is parked badly or causing an obstruction you can complete a form at https://www.ridebeam.com/report-a-beam and Beam will deploy a marshal to move the e-scooter or call Beams helpline on 1300 507 676.
