Getting in trouble with the law can quickly turn your exciting daydream into a nightmare.
You might even have a picture in your mind of how cool it would be zooming around on two or three wheels. And thanks to SWAGTRON® electric eScooters, that inner dream can now be a reality.
So you’ve been thinking about getting a scooter, but are hesitate because it might be illegal? Let me tell you everything there is to know before buying your first adult eScooters.
Do I need my own driver’s license for an electric two wheelers?
“The answer may surprise some of us- yes! In most states including California riders under 18 years old require either proof that they have permission from their parents or guardians during these times OR legal emancipated status; whereas people over 20 must show full compliance with state law regarding Motor Vehicle operator’s licenses.”
Is Any Special Equipment Required?
There is no special equipment required to ride an eScooter. However, many states have regulations in place for riders. For example, in Michigan, all riders are required to wear a helmet until they reach the age of 19. In Minnesota, the age requirement is 18. Before you take your scooter out for a spin, be sure to check your state’s regulations. If you’re in the market for a new helmet, consider one with Bluetooth capability and LED lights for safety.
How old do you have to be to ride an electric scooter in the US?
The eScooter is a great way to get some exercise and explore your neighborhood. But make sure you’re old enough – it might be limited by age 18 without permission!
The minimum age to ride an electric scooter in the United States is 16, and it’s usually required that you wear a helmet. The law varies by state but as long as your State has laws covering mopeds or motorcycles specifically then they’ll apply equally for e-scooters too!
With eScooters, you can move about in style and safety! The best way to stay up-to date on the newest regulations is by checking with your local government before riding.
Key Points:

- Make sure to check the latest rulings on eScooter laws in your area before taking one for a spin!
