Abstract

This study focuses on the legal regulation of urban transport vehicles, especially electric scooters, but also other similar devices (e.g. Segways), which have become very popular since the 2010s, from the perspective of Hungarian traffic and criminal law. Thus, it reviews what kind of means of transport can be considered as such in the absence of separate, comprehensive regulation, and what their criminal law assessment may be if criminal offences occur. It also presents some local Hungarian examples of regulation, pointing out their often contradictory nature. The paper concludes with a brief outlook on the recent Polish legislation. In the author’s opinion, a comprehensive regulation of the issue is urgently needed.
