Can I ride a motorized scooter, quad, motorized bike, or go-cart on the streets or anywhere else?
If it is motorized, the operator needs to have a license, registration and insurance for the vehicle, the vehicle also must have the proper equipment to be driven on the roads, such as turn signals, lights, brake lights, a valid registration tag… etc… The mini bikes, go carts, quads and scooters are not legal to ride at this time in Pennsylvania, unless you are on private property and have permission to ride there. If you do ride at an approved location, always wear helmets and the proper safety equipment. Violation of this or any other part of this section can result in traffic tickets, just as if you were operating a car or truck. The vehicle may also be towed.
