New Helmet Requirement for E-Scooter Users Effective August 2026
As of August 2026, Paris mandates that all e-scooter riders wear helmets and reflective gear due to a rise in severe accidents. This law targets private users since rental e-scooters were banned in 2023. Travelers considering e-scooter use should prepare for safer riding requirements to avoid fines.
