What are the California laws for motor scooters?


Both the electric and gas ones you stand on. Is there an age limit? Or anything that defines if you can ride it on streets or sidewalks. Because the DMV website is kind of vague and I usually thought motor scooters were safe for younger children, and not just over 16.

A sit down scooter and a motorcycle are the same thing to the law. They are both motorized two wheeled vehicles, and the same laws apply. Scooters are never allowed on the sidewalk, just as motorcycles are not. You must have a valid drivers license with a motorcycle certification to use them on the road. Off road use is subject to local laws, but all ages are welcome.

The stand on electric scooters are nothing more than a skateboard, have fun anywhere you want. The gas powered stand on scooters are not street legal, and may not be ridden on the road. Some towns do not allow them on sidewalks either, check with your towns police department for more information.

Well if you aren't getting good information from the dmv, I would talk to the CHP or even your local police department, they should be very aware of the laws regarding motor scooters.
