Collection of articles on electric scooter riding in the United States. Includes state by state e-scooter legality, regulation, where and how to ride within Federal and State laws. 

Because electric scooters are relatively recent additions to the road network it can be confusing whether they are allowed on the road, pavement, cycle lanes - and what the regulations to ride them legally are. 

The good news is that most territories now have relatively clear information on what is allowed, and we are collecting that information here to help riders find the latest updates.

Disclaimer: Bo USA Inc. endeavours to keep these documents up to date and relevant, however does not in any manner guarantee the accuracy of the included findings regarding electric scooter laws in the United States. Always carry out secondary research to validate any statement - and refer directly to the relevant authority before presuming accuracy.

Electric scooter riders or those considering to purchase or begin riding electric scooters should refer to their local governments to obtain the most up-to-date information on the applicable, local legal standing of scooters.
