DNTV, Staff Reporter
Dubai’s Naif police station seized 3,779 e-scooters and e-bicycles for various violations, including plying on non-designated areas. The vehicles confiscated included 2,286 bicycles, 771 electric bicycles, and 722 e-scooters. They were a significant risk moving on public roads, confusing drivers.
Expert Brigadier Omar Musa Ashour, Acting Director of Naif Police Station, affirmed Dubai Police’s commitment to raising awareness and promoting a traffic safety culture among road users to reduce negative behaviour and accidents and minimise road asualties.
Significant danger
Brigadier Ashour highlighted that riding scooters, electric scooters, and bicycles poses a significant danger to their users and other road-goers, particularly when used in non-designated areas or on public roads. This can confuse drivers, so Dubai Police prioritise the safety of these users and other road users through regular awareness campaigns. These campaigns align with Dubai Police’s strategy to make roads safer.
Statistics
Ashour noted that the campaign launched by Naif Police Station on scooters, electric, and regular bicycles in its jurisdiction, in collaboration with the General Department of Traffic since the beginning of this year, led to the seizure of 3,779 vehicles in the past eight months.
This included 2,286 bicycles, 771 electric bicycles, and 722 scooters. He reiterated that these vehicles are a significant risk when used in non-designated areas or on public roads, causing confusion for drivers.

Hence, Dubai Police ensure the safety of users and other road-goers through continuous awareness campaigns, which is in line with their strategy to enhance road safety.
Safety measures
Brigadier Ashour emphasised the importance of adhering to safety and security measures when riding scooters, electric, or regular bicycles. These include riding in designated lanes set by the licensing authority, not using jogging or walking lanes, not carrying passengers on electric scooters or items that could affect balance, complying with safety requirements set by the licensing authority, always riding in the direction of traffic, adhering to designated lanes, dismounting at pedestrian crossings, maintaining a safe distance from vehicles and pedestrians, not making significant modifications to the vehicle, and not allowing the bicycle to be towed by or tow another vehicle. Additionally, riders should use rear and sidelights, wear helmets, wear reflective jackets, and avoid riding at night or during unstable weather conditions.
Adherence to safety
Ashour called on cyclists to strictly follow traffic rules and guidelines, stick to permitted roads and lanes, and comply with all security and safety requirements mentioned in designated areas to ensure public safety.
Ashour emphasised Dubai Police’s focus on enhancing awareness among all road users — drivers, passengers, and pedestrians — about their rights and responsibilities to ensure maximum safety and adherence to traffic regulations, making the emirate’s roads safer.
He further explained that Dubai Police spare no effort in improving road safety and ensuring a sense of security through intensified traffic enforcement aimed at curbing violations, catching reckless drivers, contributing to road security, and reducing fatal accidents.
Public appeal
Ashour urged the public to report negative behaviour or dangerous actions through the “Police Eye” service available on the Dubai Police smartphone app or by calling the “We Are All Police” service on 901. He wished everyone safety.
