The increasing incidence of accidents and crimes involving personal mobility devices prompts law enforcement agencies conducting investigations to study the technical characteristics and design elements of these vehicles in order to accurately describe them, determine the specific type of vehicle (hereinafter referred to as MV), and classify it as a PMD. Most of these vehicles involved in roadtraffic and other accidents are electric scooters. Scientific and reference literature lacks information on the classification of electric scooters, as well as catalogs of tire tread patterns. Therefore, there is a need to study these vehicles to establish patterns in the appearance of their design elements on trace-receiving surfaces. This article presents the results of research aimed at identifying forensically relevant information for determining the type of electric scooter based on tire tread patterns. The most common tire tread patterns for urban and offroad electric scooters, electric mopeds, and bicycles are identified. A classification of electric scooters based on their technical characteristics has been created, which is necessary to determine the type of electric scooter and establish the circle of persons operating them for the purpose of investigating incidents and crimes committed with a participation of that vehicle.
