It's not illegal to ride a bike without a helmet in Scotland, however cyclists are recommended to use one as it can provide visibility and protect from head injuries.

If a bike meets the correct government requirements it's classed as a normal pedal bike.

This includes power output, manufacturer of the motor, battery voltage, and the maximum speed of the bike.

If it meets the set standard on the government website, then you can ride it on cycle paths and anywhere else pedal bikes are allowed.

Some electric bikes can be classed as a motorcycle or moped, therefore must be registered and taxed.

If this is the case you need a valid driving licence to ride one and you must wear a crash helmet.

Deliveroo spokesperson said: “We take our responsibilities seriously to ensure the safety of riders and the safety of the communities where we operate.

"We are concerned by this footage and are investigating.”

“During the onboarding process, every rider completes a programme of road safety guidance.

"All riders are required to meet minimum safety standards, we recommend riders always wear a helmet, and, as with all road users, riders must follow the Highway Code.” 

Police Scotland have been contacted for comment.
