Are Battery Bikes street-legal?
Electric scooters in general occupy a grey area of the law, somewhere between motorcycles and bicycles. You generally cannot license a Battery Bike, since they lack the accessories required for legal street operations (such as turn signals). On the other hand, since they are motorized, they are sometimes frowned upon in bicycle lanes. The bottom line: The laws vary from place to place, as does the degree to which the laws are enforced. Consult your local law enforcement agency or visit the library to look up your statutes. No matter what, always obey the traffic laws, wear a helmet, and brake for whales.
