A teenager has been caught taking a disability scooter for a joyride, reaching speeds of 70km/h along a main road in Melbourne's west.
Police clocked the 17-year-old riding the motorised scooter 10km/h over the 60km/h speed limit in Station Road, Melton South about 11.10am, Saturday.
The Melton teen evaded police's initial attempts to apprehend him, before being spotted travelling "at speed" along the footpath in High Street, a police spokeswoman said.
He was arrested on Sunday morning.
The teenager will be charged on summons with a range of offences, including conduct endangering life, conduct endangering person, evading police and using an unsafe modified vehicle.
He will appear at a children's court at a later date.
