Mobility Scooter Use on Pavement

Mobility scooters may be used on sidewalks as long as they comply with local laws. Class 2 and 3 scooters cannot be used on cycle-only paths but can travel on the road at up to 8 mph.

Sidewalks provide a safe space for pedestrians. Accidents caused by scooters can lead to serious consequences for older people.
