F.A.Q.

General Laws and Full-Size Electric Scooters or Bikes

With so much variety, the responsibility is on you to follow the law wherever you are. Fortunately, there are a few general laws that you can expect to be consistent from state to state. For example,

  • You are not required to wear a helmet if you are 16 or older.
  • At age 16, you are allowed to drive on a public road.
  • You also cannot drive a full-sized electric scooter on a sidewalk or bike path.
  • A full-sized electric scooter, also known as a street-legal scooter, can travel up to 65 miles per hour and is designed to drive on the road.
  • If you are operating a scooter that is 50cc with a top speed of 30 miles per hour or higher, you are required to have a valid driver’s license.
  • In addition, annual registration is frequently required for full-sized electric scooters.
Do I Need a Driver’s License for Adult eScooters?

Licensing statues for this types depend on how each individual state classifies adult eScooters and sets the minimum age of the rider. There’s no federal definition of what an electric scooter is, nor are there regulations concerning it. So it’s up to each state—and in some cases, each city—to make their own regulations.

Will You Ride in Public?

If you don’t plan to ever take your scooter onto a public path, you don’t have to worry about registering your adult eScooter or concern yourself with any state restrictions. It’s that simple. But you also must make sure to confine your scooter to your own property at all times. The glory of riding on your property, though is, you can ride as fast as you want without worrying about anything but the trees and an occasional chipmunk.

If you do plan to ride in public—especially a crowded public area—you need to look up your state’s requirements and make sure that you’ve followed all of your state’s rules before you venture out on your adult eScooter. Some states allow you to ride anywhere if you have a license, and some restrict you to pathways, but every state has rules to follow on this subject. Break the rules, and you might have to pay a fine.

Can electric scooters be used in the rain?

It’s one of the fundamental truths we lived with for decades: water and electronics don’t mix. But with electric scooters or ebikes, the temptation to throw caution to the wind and ride out in the rain is too great to ignore. So, this article will answer the question: “Can electric scooters be used in the rain?”.

As is usual with these questions, the definitive answer is . . . maybe.

Are Electric Bikes Dangerous?

Over the last several years, electric bikes have become increasingly popular. For many, these eBikes are the perfect combinatio­­n of a standard bicycle and a motorbike. They are small and convenient like a bicycle, yet still provide the luxury of electric power that reduces the physical effort required.

Despite the growing popularity of electric bicycles, some potential riders might have concerns about their safety. After all, almost everyone’s heard about the situation that British music mogul Simon Cowell “broke his back” after falling off an electric bike (we’ll get to this in a bit). And no one wants that for themselves or a loved one!

But the reality is that just as with all motor vehicles, the safety level of eBike greatly depends on the operator — think Grandma vs. Evel Knievel.  In fact, you can do many things to significantly reduce the risk of an accident or injury while electric biking.
