Are these scooters treated the same on public roads as bicycles and any rules limiting their use on city bike paths in S.California? Thank you.

Hi Robert, I live in Sao Paulo, Brazil. We do not yet have a law on road traffic to use for this kind of vehicle, but for now use usually in bike lanes.Have a nice dayAttilio.

I use the bike lane no problem. The scooter is smaller than a bike and typically i only ride at 15mph which is bike speed.

i would think they would not be treated as bicycles, because they are not powered by the rider and they have no pedals. In my own experience, I have ridden my scooter on sidewalks & city bike paths with no problems for over a year now. If you have a handicap placard, no one can mess with you.

According to my research with law enforcement (city prosecutor and Ohio State patrol) the Jetson is an unapproved motorized bicycle that cannot be registered and therefore cannot be ridden upon the road in Ohio. Motor vehicles cannot be ridden on a public sidewalk also. It also cannot be ridden on private property open to the public (such as a parking lot). In Ohio, it would be restricted to private property not open to the public.

Here in New York it probably is, but then again electric bikes are illegal in New York and you only rarely see them issue tickets in NYC. I would check with your local law enforcement.

Probably varies by state..is considered an electric bike/scooter in OH and KY..no license required...

Dutch cycling websites say that the Rider can be mounted on bicycles, but that it is not marketed for bikes because of problems with routing. In the Netherlands and other north European countries, cyclists can ride against traffic on one-way streets, can take shortcuts through car-free zones, and often have separate routes between cities. There are many motorized-traffic-only bridges, tunnels, etc, with alternate routes for cyclists and pedestrians. TomTom's routing software is designed only for the motorized routes, so cyclists would (and do) find it very annoying. In the U.S., this might not be a problem.

I let my kids use bike helmets. My reasoning is that scooters are not motorcycles and typically go even slower than bikes. You should still check local regulations and of course neither will save you in some accidents.

I have used it in California on Yamaha 350 Enduro without any problems; I believe it is legal.

In my state, Michigan, I was told at DMV that because it has a motor, it can not be driven on a sidewalk even if the motor is not ingaged and you are pedling.

The Joovy Tricycoo has been used on city sidewalks and on grass without any problems; however, not on bumpy roads. Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question. My son was initially worried about the tires of the trike wearning down after use, but since it was purchased in June, 2013 and used VERY frequently, the tires are holding up nicely. The entire bike is well constructed and will endure the play of an active toddler. Perhaps you may wish to contact the manufacturer directly about the trike's endurance.

I live in Southern California and I can't step outside without my prescription sunglasses, much less ride a bike. You should be fine.

Yes, it does and most of the States require a registration of the scooter in the State and a driver's license to ride it.. Please contact your local DMV for the rules in your city. :)

I don't know for sure. It did not seem like that is what they are made for. As pedals for my city commuter bike they are the best I have ever had.

No breakdowns on our scooters! Our neighbor has had one for 1 year and has had no breakdowns either. The tires are very sturdy on the E300S. My husband and I ride our kids scooters when we take them to the desert. They will even do a small amount of off road if the sand isn't too deep - very fun!

These are fun scooters but better for just cruising around the neighborhood. They are a lot heavier than a Razor scooter thus making them not a maneuverable at a skate park. Defiantly a good deal. I had one when I was a kid so I bought two for my kids...

Yes, this scooter is street legal in GA. All the documents like the MSO/MCO + bill of sale will be mailed to you from out company. You take these to your local DMV and register the scooter in your State
