Are Electric Scooters Legal in Indiana?
INIndiana
Fully Legal
Summary
Indiana defines electric foot scooters as ≤20 mph devices and gives them bicycle-style rights—ride where bikes can, stay off interstates, and make sure lights and brakes meet the 500-ft visibility standard if you’re out after dark.
Detailed Information
Indiana Code 9-13-2-49.4 limits an electric foot scooter to 100 pounds and 20 mph, while IC 9-21-11-13.6 grants scooter riders the same rights and duties as cyclists so long as they avoid interstate highways. That section also spells out equipment requirements (a white front light and red rear light or reflector visible from 500 feet plus a brake that can make the wheels skid on dry pavement) and allows sidewalk parking only when it doesn’t block pedestrians—though local governments may reassign parking so long as they provide another nearby spot.
