    Just wondering what the current situation is in Ireland with eScooters?

    I have a German Street Legal Electric kick scooter with fully comp insurance and a Vehicle Registration Cert + License plate.

    Can I stick it in the boot and drive it when in Ireland ?

    It's been a while since I lived in Germany but aren't those plates just for the state you buy them in ?

    Nope, valid across the whole Bundesrepublik now :)

    My plate came from HUK in Coburg.

    They also state I'm covered everywhere in the EU except Denmark.

    IF your insurance covers you in ROI then go for it, there is likely an exclusion about not living here though to still have German insurance?

    Don't take the pi55, be lit up and wear helmet, obey traffic signs and you'll be fine. The police are very reasonable here, and I've interacted with them twice and they're fine. Both occasions they were curious about it and fully supportive of it as a mode of transport and removing cars from the road
