Safer Roads Humber have previosuly issued advice on e-scooters following a series of incidents.
They said: “Whilst you can legally buy an e-scooter, it is against the law to ride your own scooter on the road, cycle lane or pavement.
“If stopped by the police, they could seize the e-scooter and you could get a fine and points on your driving licence.”
The force is reminding parents to educate their children about the laws surrounding e-scooters before they are allowed to ride them.
Privately owned scooters can only be used on private land with the permission of the landowner.
