Matthew Scott has also criticised government’s plans to change the legislation and said the money should be spent elsewhere.
The Conservative PCC has been a well-established critic of e-scooters, which are powered by modern lithium batteries and can reach speeds of up to 30 mph.
Up until now, there use has been limited to private land, but a number of pilot schemes have seen the use of the two-wheeled devices trialled on public roads.
But in yesterday’s Queen’s Speech, legislation has been proposed to make the use of e-scooters legal on public roads.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps told the Commons Transport Select Committee earlier this month about the plans, arguing that e-scooters are ‘a reality, they exist’.
He added: “If these things exist, they need to be made safe, and I think the trials have been useful in gathering data and there’s more data still to gather.”
He promised a further announcement in the Queen’s Speech, announced yesterday.
The rule change could see e-scooters that meet safety specifications such as restrictions on their top speed, become legal to use as a means of transport on UK roads.
However, Mr Scott, is among a number of opponents of the two-wheeled motorised devices and has branded them a ‘menace’ following hundreds of accidents.
Government figures show there have been 900 collisions involving e-scooters in the UK over the last few years, eleven of which involved a fatality.
The PCC has previously called for trials in places such as Canterbury to be halted along safety grounds, adding the use of the devices was ‘placing strain on already stretched emergency services’.
Mr Scott told the Times last week that any attempt by the government to change the legislation did not have his backing and he remain opposed to e-scooters on public roads.
He said: “I have not seen the proposals for a change in e scooter legislation.
“However, I remain opposed to their legalisation and would rather time and money was spent making walking and cycling safer, as well as improving public transport.”
