Huron County OPP Warn Parents: Kids Under 16 Cant Ride E-Scooters #YouWereWarned

(HURON COUNTY, ON) The Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to provide some up-to-date information pertaining to battery-powered scooters (e-scooters) as police are seeing a number of people, including children under the age of 16 years operating these in our communities.
Two-wheeled electric scooters are becoming very popular, especially with the younger segment of our population. E-scooters are reasonably priced, portable, and fun to ride. The problem is that many people do not know what laws and restrictions apply to these vehicles.
In Ontario, municipalities can create by-laws that either allow or restrict the use of e-scooters on their roadways. Most municipalities DO NOT allow e-scooters on their roadways. Generally, e-scooters are only allowed to be operated on private property.
Check with your local municipality for e-scooter information in your area.
The attached information card (see photos) outlines the e-scooter laws in Ontario:

Remember traffic safety is everyones responsibility!
