Scooter Laws and Regulations in Arizona
There are fewer rules for scooters than there are for vehicles like motorcycles or bicycles, but it’s important to know what rules apply to each type of scooter.
For example, motorized scooters are allowed on roads but may not be driven on bicycle paths and operators must have:
- A valid motorcycle license
- Current insurance
- Proof of registration
An electric scooter or bicycle has different requirements including:
- Operators may not ride the vehicle on a roadway, only on designated bicycle paths
- No license is required, same as for a bike
- No insurance, title, or registration is required
- Total weight must be 75 pounds or less to be classified as an electric bike or scooter
- Maximum allowable speed on these vehicles is 25 mph
If you’ve been in an electric scooter accident and aren’t sure whether or not the operator of the vehicle was following all rules and regulations, a lime scooter accident attorney can ask you questions and may be able to better determine whether they were operating the e-scooter legally.
