Legally they are no longer allowed either on the road or pavement (never were anyway) unless registered basically the same as a 50cc moto with all that entails such as ITV, inurance, licence, helmet etc.
I believe that so far there is only one model of scooter which is in fact able to be so registered.
The guarda are slowly starting to implement the law and there have been seizures and prosecutions, frankly that can't come soon enough, they are a bloody menace.
