The Touring is our lightest electric scooter and is great for commuting and running errands because of its small and lightweight design.

The Cruiser has been called the best electric scooter at its price point and we want to make sure you know that as soon as you get yours!
If you found this and don't have your own Cruiser yet, come check out our store in Downtown LA

To ride a scooter you need to pass an exam on a car, genius. I know in US everything is already car-centric, but this does continue the trend.

15 MPH speed limit
Helmet only required if under 18

[seandawkins]

Scooter are allowed to go 25mph? I thought it was only 15mph. I’m in San Jose CA is it different laws?

[splicecentral]

I will listen to what this guy says because he is the lord.

[isayhipeople]

The actual laws to google for CA listed below. Dont get into trouble
Section 89.4
Section 407.5
Section 21235

I just bought my E-scooter, these rules are irrelevant. One thing i see everyday is:
- No helmet (if you are 18 you don't have to but still)
- Two passengers
- They ride on the sidewalks and crossroads.

Those CA rules are illegal if you do but not all streets have bike lines so you must drive on sidewalks like a normal bike...some streets see cars pass by very close to the sidewalks.
Stupid rules.
Btw i live in Cali.

I’m 16 years old, and don’t have a drivers license or permit, but I know more than most drivers on the street. Should I follow the rules of bicycles or motorcycles?

Forgot one!! Dont be under the influence of drugs and alcohol. You will get a DUI and go to jail.

[moonsoulYT]

Can we get a yearly update to the rules?👍👍

Bell's Moto Mx 9 makes for a great commuting helmet, it's also DOT and ECE certified. It also has the M I P S slip plane which helps with rotational force. It's a dirt bike helmet so it will breathe, and you'll need goggles but it's a great option. Some 100% Stratas and you're good to go in just under $200. It might sound expensive but your keeping your brain juice in it's case is worth it.

[joshshaye]

If i dont have a driver license yet, is student id acceptable?

I did some research on google they said it’s fine if a person doesn’t have a driver license as long as they have a learner’s permit.

If I’m wrong please correct me. I would appreciate it so much 😅

[fantasicpinkster]

do you still need a license with a 50cc?

[dennisgolden]

Good video.
Hopefully people wear
Helmets and safty gear.

Can I ride fat wheel or tire electric scooter not on the beach path ride but on beach soft sand ? It will certainly be a very low ride, a lot less than 25 mph.

[BradThePitts]

Are these rules or laws? The reason I ask as I see these rules violated, constantly, every day. If no one is enforcing them, what's the point of rules?

[ankip]

Can I ride kick scooters in bike lanes?

[blue-eyed-bandit]

Can i ride a 125 or 150cc scooter in California with a class C license?
