The use of scramblers in all public places is illegal from today as Grace's Law comes into effect.
The Government approved strengthened regulations to fully implement the ban on scramblers and quadbikes earlier this week
The measures follow the death of of Grace Lynch, who was killed after she was hit by a scrambler bike in Finglas in Dublin, in January.
Scramblers may still be used on private land by the landowner, or with their written consent, and in designated sports facilities, but they must be transported to and from those locations.
The Department of Transport said the new regulations will strengthen existing provisions and powers of enforcement by An Garda Síochána.
Since July 2023, off-road scramblers have been illegal for use on public roads and it has also been illegal to drive them dangerously anywhere, even on private land.
Gardaí have had the power to seize a scrambler being driven dangerously or if they have a belief it will be.
Over 1,000 scrambler, e-scooters and quad bikes have been seized between 2023 and the end of 2025.
Under Grace's Law the mere use of scramblers will now be an offence and gardaí will no longer have to form a reasonable belief about dangerous use.
The departments of Transport and Justice are also finalising regulations to substantially increase the cost of releasing a scrambler following seizure.
The current fees for the release of a seized scrambler are €125 on the day of detention and €35 for each day of storage.
