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.

The article raises the issue of the status of electric scooters under criminal law and misdemeanor law. The Act of 2021 regulates the legal status of these vehicles and other personal transport devices under the provisions of the road traffic law. However, the status of the driver of such vehicles under the broadly understood criminal law remains an open question. The concept of a motor vehicle functioning in the provisions of the Penal Code and the Code of Petty Offenses is not defined, which raises doubts about whether the new regulations on electric scooters and personal transport devices fall within the scope of the definition of a motor vehicle, and consequently, whether such persons can be held liable under certain types of prohibited acts specified in the Polish Penal Code and Polish Code of Petty Offenses.
