Summary
Las Vegas’ Oct. 1, 2025 ordinance now bans scooters on Fremont Street sidewalks, caps speeds at 15 mph in city facilities, requires helmets and lights for minors, and mirrors the new Clark County rules that also keep scooters out of the resort corridor.
Detailed Information
The Las Vegas City Council’s 2025 update makes it a misdemeanor to ride bikes, e-bikes, or e-scooters on Fremont Street sidewalks between Main and 7th, to pop wheelies or perform other “reckless” stunts on city right-of-way, or to exceed 15 mph inside city-operated parks, plazas, or recreation centers; helmets plus front and rear lighting are mandatory for minors, and fines escalate from $150 to $500 for repeat offenders.citeturn3search0turn3search3 Clark County adopted parallel rules that take effect May 21, 2025: scooters under 100 lb must stay below 20 mph overall, helmets are required for riders under 18, bells/horns and lights are compulsory, reckless behavior is banned, and the resort corridor (including the Strip) is off-limits.citeturn3search1turn3search8 Together these ordinances mean visitors should expect geofenced “no ride” zones downtown and around the Strip, speed throttling in parks, and fines up to $600 for ignoring the safety equipment mandate.
