Does North Carolina Have Laws About Scooters?

State law treats motorized scooters as mopeds, though you do not need to register a rideshare scooter with the state. However, there are a few specific rules about these scooters:

• Riders must be of 18 years or older to ride a scooter
• Riders may not use scooters on sidewalks or in public parking spaces
• Parked scooters may not block roads or sidewalks
• Riders may not take scooters outside of city limits
• All riders must wear a helmet
• All riders must have a valid driver’s license

The attorneys at DAS Law Group, P.A., understand North Carolina’s scooter laws in depth. Whether you were a rider, cyclist or pedestrian, we can help you navigate the law as you seek compensation.

Scooter Rideshares Have Complex Liability

Liability is more complex in scooter crashes than it is in automobile crashes. There may be more than one liable party, including the rideshare company or a negligent rider or driver. It is crucial to work with a law firm like DAS Law Group, P.A., that understands how to determine complex liability and has successfully done so for several clients.
