What should I consider when buying an e-scooter and a drone in Sharjah and taking them to Dubai?
Hello,
I want to get a Kugokirin M5 Pro in Sharjah and might take it to Dubai. I am 12.
What should I consider?
I also have a DJI Mini 3 drone.
Thank you!
Dear questioner,
To use the Kugokirin M5 Pro in Dubai, you must comply with RTA (Roads and Transport Authority) regulations, which require a permit, safety gear, and riding in designated areas.
As for the DJI Mini 3, it must be registered with the GCAA (General Civil Aviation Authority), and you must adhere to aviation restrictions.
For more details, it is recommended to review the relevant regulations.
We can assist you with legal registration if needed.

Thank you for reaching out!
Since you are 12 years old, there are certain legal considerations for using an electric scooter like the Kugokirin M5 Pro and a DJI Mini 3 drone in the UAE.
For the Kugokirin M5 Pro, different emirates have varying regulations on electric scooters. In Dubai, for example, riders must be at least 16 years old to use e-scooters in designated areas, and certain roads require a permit.
Sharjah may have different rules, so it’s important to check with local authorities. If you plan to use it in Dubai, ensure you follow RTA regulations to avoid any legal issues.
For the DJI Mini 3 drone, UAE drone laws require registration with the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), and usage in certain areas (especially near airports, government buildings, and residential zones) is restricted.
Since you are under 16, you may need parental supervision and approval to fly it legally.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Kugoo Kukirin M5 Pro electric scooter and your DJI Mini 3 drone.
I appreciate your interest in these devices and your commitment to understanding the relevant regulations.
Please allow me to provide some important information for your consideration:
1. Regarding the Kugoo Kukirin M5 Pro electric scooter:
a. Age Restrictions: Given your age of 12, there are significant safety and legal concerns about operating this powerful scooter. Most jurisdictions have minimum age requirements for such vehicles.
b. Safety Considerations: The M5 Pro's specifications (1000W motor, 52 km/h top speed, 36.2 kg weight) make it unsuitable for young riders due to safety risks.
c. Legal Regulations: Sharjah and Dubai may have specific laws governing the use of high-powered electric scooters, particularly for minors.
2. Regarding your DJI Mini 3 drone:
a. Registration: All drones in the UAE must be registered through the official UAE Drones app.
b. Age Requirement: The minimum legal age for drone operation in the UAE is 16 years old.
c. Permits: Recreational drone use requires obtaining a proper permit.
d. Restricted Areas: Be aware of no-fly zones near airports, military installations, and other sensitive locations.
e. Insurance: Mandatory insurance coverage is required for all registered drones in the UAE.
Given these factors, I would strongly advise against purchasing or operating the Kugoo Kukirin M5 Pro at your current age. Regarding your drone, please be aware that you are not yet of legal age to operate it in the UAE.
I recommend revisiting these interests when you're older and can meet the legal requirements. In the meantime, I encourage you to explore age-appropriate activities that align with local laws and safety guidelines.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Yours sincerely,
