Are electric scooters legal?
Yes, generally electric scooters are legal. By most standards they will fall under the classification of bicycles. In certain areas they fall under a sub category of motorcycles. But given their speed and power, they in almost all cases do not require a license to drive. If you follow basic bicycle laws of your region, wear a helmet and don¡¯t ride your electric scooter on the sidewalk, and be visible to pedestrian and vehicular traffic during all ride, then you should be okay. However, regional or city legislations may have regulations that specifically apply to motor scooters. If you believe that your area may have such regulations, we suggest that you contact your local law enforcement agency for the most up to date and accurate information.
